- Summary:
- The Navy reached a late-Cold War peak of 568 battle force ships in FY1987 and has since been declining in sized. There is currently no officially approved, consensus plan for the future size and structure of the Navy. The absence of such a plan could complicate Congress ability to conduct oversight of the Navy's budget and individual Navy ship-acquisition programs. DOD is proposing to procure new Navy ships during most of its amended FY2004-FY2009 Future Years Defense Plan (FYDP) at an average rate less than what would be required, over the long run, to maintain a Navy of 310 or more ships.
