Future new attack submarine or SSN(X)– Seawolf size and capabilities– Large research and development bill: $8 billion or more– More than $5 billion per ship

Future new large surface combatant– R&D bill: $2 billion to $5 billion is likely; more is possible (DDG-1000: $10 billion)– Average cost $2.3 billion per ship

New frigate and follow-on future small surface combatant– What size and capabilities?– Costs at $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion

Columbia class ballistic missile submarine– Will it follow the Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier as a complicated,

troubled lead ship program?

Cost Growth in Lead Ships

Lead ships are hard to build on cost and on time. Cost growth in lead ships of various classes almost always exceeds 10 percent.

“Inter-state strategic competition, not terrorism, is now the primary concern in U.S. national security.”

“Investments will prioritize ground, air, sea, and space forces that can deploy, survive, operate, maneuver, and regenerate in all domains while under attack.”
