The Navy plans to fund a total of 48 ships through fiscal 2020, according to the 2016 budget sent today
to Congress, including 10 new Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and 10 Virginia-class submarines from
2016 through 2020.Advanced procurement for the SSBN(X) strategic missile submarine begins in
2017, with the first ship to be ordered in 2021. The cost to build a class of 12 submarines is expected to
dominate service shipbuilding budgets through the 2020’s.
Last summer, the Navy estimated
the procurement cost for the first of
12 planned SSBN(X) subs to cost
about $12.4 billion, but is working
to get the average cost of each
submarine down to about $5 billion.
Speaking to reporters Monday
afternoon, Navy budget director
Rear Adm. William Lescher,
Responding to questions, Lescher
said no money is being set aside
for SSBN(X) construction. Some in
Congress have proposed funding
the ships outside the regular
shipbuilding budget, and a special
National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund account was established last year for that purpose. But no
money as yet is in the account.
“The departments plan is that additional top-line relief is required,” Lescher acknowledged.
“The deterrence fund is a great first step, the start of a conversation,” he said. But funding the
submarines “is a work in progress and a topic for the [Congressional] committees.”
Elsewhere in the shipbuilding
budget, 14 littoral combat ships
(LCS) are planned, with the
first two modified littoral
frigates scheduled for 2019.
The newly updated ship
construction program includes
a new carrier in 2018, the LHA
8 assault ship in 2017, a new
LXR) amphibious transport
dock replacement ship in 2020,
an afloat forward staging base
ship in 2017, and a new class
of fleet tugs, with the first of
five coming in 2017.
The first T-AO(X) oiler is requested in 2016, with one per year starting in 2018. Lescher said the Navy](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/usnbudgetincludes10bfornewmissilesub-150430020623-conversion-gate01/85/usn-budget-includes-10-b-for-new-missile-sub-1-320.jpg)

The Navy is limiting competition for the oiler to only those shipyards, and is tying the award to concurrent proposals for LHA 8.
