Budget 2010: Navy may rethink 313-ship goal


Shipbuilding

The Navy’s fiscal 2010 budget includes plans to build eight ships:

• 1 Arleigh Burke-class destroyer

• 3 littoral combat ships (the winner of a competition between Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics will be awarded two; the loser, one)

• 2 Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo and ammunition ships

• 1 Virginia-class fast-attack submarine

• 1 Joint High Speed Vessel

The service also plans to ask for funding to pay for the second half of the Zumwalt-class DDG 1002; the third increment of funding for the carrier Gerald R. Ford; and the second increment of funding for the refueling and complex overhaul of the carrier Theodore Roosevelt, scheduled for September. The Army also is asking for a Joint High Speed Vessel in its budget, making for nine total ships in this year’s Pentagon budget request.

Also in fiscal 2010, three destroyers, an attack submarine and an ammunition ship will join the fleet. Two attack subs, a frigate, an ammunition ship and an auxiliary fleet support ship will be decommissioned.
Aviation

The total aircraft budget proposal is $18.4 billion, up from last year’s budget of $14.1 billion. Included are:

• 9 F/A-18E/F Super Hornets

• 2 E-2D Advanced Hawkeyes

• 27 MH-60R helicopters

• 18 MH-60S helicopters

• 38 T-6A/B Joint Primary Pilot Trainers

• 16 F-35B Joint Strike Fighters for the Marine Corps

• 4 F-35C Joint Strike Fighters for the Navy

• 6 P-8A Poseidons

• 1 C-40A Clipper cargo plane

• 8 MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicles
Other highlights

In addition to shipbuilding and aviation plans, the Navy budget includes requests for the following:

• 325 Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System missiles. APKWS is a 70mm rocket launched from a helicopter against “soft or lightly armored targets.”

• 24 Trident II D5 submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Ohio-class ballistic missile subs have 24 tubes and each missile packs multiple nuclear warheads. The cost will be just more than $1 billion.

• $495 million for research and development of the propulsion plant and missile compartment on the ballistic missile sub that will replace the Ohio class, expected to join the fleet in 2020.

• No Mine Resistant Ambush Protected trucks. The vehicles, developed in response to the roadside bomb tactics used in Iraq and now Afghanistan, are used by Seabee and explosive ordnance disposal units.

• Upgrades for Camp Lemonier, the U.S. military base in Djibouti, including $8.1 million for security fences, $21.7 million for an ammunition supply point, a $4.8 million firehouse and $7.3 million for road paving.

• $46.3 million for channel dredging in Mayport, Fla., and $29.7 million to repair the Charlie Wharf pier, former home of the carrier John F. Kennedy.

• $284.2 million for research and development of the Next Generation Enterprise Network, the replacement for the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet.
