State of ShipbuildingState of Shipbuilding
• 5 larger shipyards.
• 6-8 smaller yards with capability to build.
• Many small yards specialize in:
– Repair.
– Component manufacture.
• All build yards also repair.
• Historically it has been at least 15 years between navy programs and even more for the Coast Guard.

A Shipbuilding StrategyA Shipbuilding Strategy
• A strategy that will reduce the boom and bust cycles the industry is experiencing now.
• Shipyards prequalify to build specific types of ships.
• Advantages:
– Develop a strong partnership between government & industry.
– Develop centres of excellence.
– Most appropriate facilities do the work.
– Cost of bidding a project reduced.
– Procurement process is simplified.
– Earlier & more open communication between all parties.
– Ship delivery expedited.
