  • Navy DDG-51 and DDG-1000 Destroyer Programs: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy DDG-51 and DDG-1000 Destroyer Programs: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs December 23, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32109 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Navy DDG-51 and DDG-1000 Destroyer Programs: Background and Issues for Congress Summary Consistent with a proposal announced by the Navy in July 2008, the Administration’s FY2010 defense budget proposed ending procurement of DDG-1000 (Zumwalt) class destroyers with the third ship, which was authorized and partially funded in FY2009, and restarting procurement DDG-51 (Arleigh Burke) class Aegis destroyers, which were last procured in FY2005. The proposed FY2010 defense budget requested procurement funding to complete the cost of the third DDG-1000 and to procure one DDG-51, and advance procurement funding for two more DDG- 51s that the Navy wants to procure in FY2011. The Navy’s plans for destroyer procurement in FY2012 and beyond have been unclear. The Navy since July 2008 has spoken on several occasions about a desire to build a total of 11 or 12 DDG- 51s between FY2010 and FY2015, but the Navy also testified to the Seapower subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Committee on June 16, 2009, that it is conducting a study on destroyer procurement options for FY2012 and beyond that is examining design options based on either the DDG-51 or DDG-1000 hull form. A January 2009 memorandum from the Department of Defense acquisition executive called for such a study. A November 2009 press report stated that the study was begun in late Spring 2009, that it was nearing completion, that it examined options for equipping the DDG-51 and DDG-1000 designs with an improved radar, and that preliminary findings from the study began to be briefed to “key parties on Capitol Hill and in industry” in October 2009.

  • Navy DD(X), CG(X), and LCS Ship Acquisition Programs: Oversight Issues and Options for Congress
    Order Code RL32109 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Navy DD(X), CG(X), and LCS Ship Acquisition Programs: Oversight Issues and Options for Congress Updated April 21, 2005 Ronald O’Rourke Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Navy DD(X), CG(X), and LCS Ship Acquisition Programs: Oversight Issues and Options for Congress Summary The Navy in FY2006 and future years wants to procure three new classes of surface combatants — a destroyer called the DD(X), a cruiser called the CG(X), and a smaller surface combatant called the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). Congress in FY2005 funded the procurement of the first LCS and provided advance procurement funding for the first DD(X), which the Navy wants to procure in FY2007. The FY2006-FY2011 Future Years Defense Plan (FYDP) reduces planned DD(X) procurement to one per year in FY2007-FY2011 and accelerates procurement of the first CG(X) to FY2011. The FY2006 budget requests $666 million in advanced procurement funding for the first DD(X), which is planned for procurement in FY2007, $50 million in advance procurement funding for the second DD(X), which is planned for procurement in FY2008, and $1,115 million for DD(X)/CG(X) research and development. The budget requests $613.3 million for the LCS program, including $240.5 million in research and development funding to build the second LCS, $336.0 million in additional research and development funding, and $36.8 million in procurement funding for LCS mission modules.

  • Long Waves on the Seven Seas
    4 Waves on Waves – Long Waves on the Seven Seas Anttiheikki Helenius Abstract Kondratieff waves are an interesting subject of study and describe present global economic developments. The Global Financial Crisis of 2009 and the present economic situation have parallels with the Great Depression of the 1930s. Twice-in-a-century events are occurring again. On the other hand, many important innovations have been introduced during the last decades. These innovations have changed people's lives in a revolution- ary manner and have contributed very positively to the global development. Study of the development of seafaring supports the claim of the existence of Kondratieff waves. Important innovations and milestones of development of seafaring coincided with the upswing phases of these waves. Moods of different eras manifest also in composition of shipping fleets and flotillas. One needs new creative approaches to solve global challenges. The study of long waves allows compelling insights and provides timeless wisdom for the study of economics. Keywords: Kondratieff waves, long waves, global financial crisis, maritime economics, economic forecasting, philosophy of science and economics, Schum- peterian economics, time preference of consumption, Hayekian economics, cruise industry. General Introduction to the Long Waves and to the Subject of This Article For my Doctoral thesis in Economics I studied the theory of Kondratieff waves. I used that theory in the practical context when analyzing the air transportation (Helenius 2003). A special vindication could be established for using a long waves approach for analyzing air transportation. Also I have used the long waves approach in recent conference papers (Idem 2009, 2010).

  • Reactor Physics Calculations in the Nordic Countries
    ESPOO 2003 VTT SYMPOSIUM 230 The eleventh biennial meeting on reactor physics calculations in the Nordic VTT SYMPOSIUM 230 countries was arranged by VTT Processes in Otaniemi, Espoo and on board Tallink´s m/s Romantika on April 9–10, 2003. General reactor physics, calculational methods, a code system adapted for RBMK reactor analyses, and transmutation of nuclear waste were presented by representatives of universities and programme developers. Computer programmes are the most important tools of reactor physics. At the meeting there were presentations of VTT Processes’ new deterministic 3- dimensional radiation transport code MultiTrans and BWR simulator ARES based upon the AFEN model, and also of new features in internationally wellknown codes like CASMO-4E and POLCA (POLCA-T) together with Reactor physics calculations in the Nordic countries results obtained by these programmes. A code for PWR loading pattern search, called LP-fun, is being developed by Westinghouse and others. On the subject of code validation, measurements on SVEA-96+ fuel bundles in the PROTEUS facility had been analyzed with the PHOENIX4 code, reactor scram experiments in the Loviisa and Mochovce VVER reactors using CASMO-4, MCNP4B and HEXTRAN, results of gamma scanning by the PHOENIX4/POLCA7 combination. Some difficulties in predicting the power distribution in the reactor core with sufficiently good accuracy using any of the available code systems were reported by OKG. Heating of non-fuel regions by gamma radiation and neutrons had been investigated using the HELIOS lattice code. Calculational results for heat deposition from gamma radiation in the moderator tank of the Forsmark-1 reactor were reported by Risø.
