While the total is 17 ships more than under the 2012 plan, CBO says, “Those purchases would still leave the Navy short of its inventory objectives for attack submarines, large surface combatants, and amphibious warfare ships for significant parts of the 2013–2042 period.”
But CBO notes, ”For aircraft carriers, by contrast, the Navy would meet or exceed its goal of 11 ships throughout the 2013–2042 time frame, except for the periods from 2013 to 2015 and from 2040 to 2042.”
