Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781503254718)

The Navy's proposed FY2014 budget requests funding for the procurement of 8 new battle force ships (i.e., ships that count against the Navy's goal for achieving and maintaining a fleet of 306 ships). The 8 ships include two Virginia-class attack submarines, one DDG-51 class Aegis destroyer, four Littoral Combat Ships (LCSs), and one Mobile Landing Platform/Afloat Forward Staging Base (MLP/AFSB) ship. The Navy's proposed FY2014-FY2018 five-year shipbuilding plan includes a total of 41 ships-the same number as in the Navy's FY213-FY2017 five-year shipbuilding plan, and one less than the 42 ships that the Navy planned for FY2014-FY2018 under the FY2013 budget submission.
