    Navy Columbia (SSBN-826) Class Ballistic Missile Submarine Program: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 14, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41129 Navy Columbia (SSBN-826) Class Ballistic Missile Submarine Program Summary The Navy’s Columbia (SSBN-826) class ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) program is a program to design and build a class of 12 new SSBNs to replace the Navy’s current force of 14 aging Ohio-class SSBNs. Since 2013, the Navy has consistently identified the Columbia-class program as the Navy’s top priority program. The Navy procured the first Columbia-class boat in FY2021 and wants to procure the second boat in the class in FY2024. The Navy’s proposed FY2022 budget requests $3,003.0 (i.e., $3.0 billion) in procurement funding for the first Columbia-class boat and $1,644.0 million (i.e., about $1.6 billion) in advance procurement (AP) funding for the second boat, for a combined FY2022 procurement and AP funding request of $4,647.0 million (i.e., about $4.6 billion). The Navy’s FY2022 budget submission estimates the procurement cost of the first Columbia- class boat at $15,030.5 million (i.e., about $15.0 billion) in then-year dollars, including $6,557.6 million (i.e., about $6.60 billion) in costs for plans, meaning (essentially) the detail design/nonrecurring engineering (DD/NRE) costs for the Columbia class. (It is a long-standing Navy budgetary practice to incorporate the DD/NRE costs for a new class of ship into the total procurement cost of the first ship in the class.) Excluding costs for plans, the estimated hands-on construction cost of the first ship is $8,473.0 million (i.e., about $8.5 billion).

The Navy has identified the Columbia-class program as the Navy’s top priority program. The Navy wants to procure the first Columbia-class boat in FY2021. The Navy’s proposed FY2019 budget requests $3,005.3 million in advance procurement (AP) funding and $704.9 million in research and development funding for the program. The Navy as of January 2017 estimated the procurement cost of the lead ship in the class at $8.2 billion in constant 2017 dollars, not including several billion dollars in additional cost for plans for the class, and the average unit procurement cost of ships 2 through 12 in the program at $6.5 billion each in constant FY2017 dollars. An April 2018 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report assessing selected major DOD weapon acquisition programs stated that the estimated total acquisition cost of the Columbia-class program is $102,075.3 million (about $102.1 billion) in constant FY2018 dollars, including $12,901.0 million (about $12.9 billion) in research and development costs and $89,174.3 million (about $89.2 billion) in procurement costs.

  • New Navy Flattop Heralds Next Carrier Class
    Related Articles New Navy Flattop Heralds Next Carrier Class by Harold Kennedy At the mouth of the historic Chesapeake Bay-near the site of the nation's first English-speaking colony and several battles of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars-plans are being laid for a major centerpiece of U.S. naval power for the 21st century. The Newport News Shipbuilding company, of Newport News, Va., is under contract with the U.S. Navy to begin the design process for a new nuclear aircraft carrier-the last of the Nimitz class of ships, intended to last through the better part of the century ahead. The new carrier, known only as CVN 77, has yet to be named. Construction will not even begin until fiscal year 2001, with completion scheduled for 2008. Both Newport News and the Navy view CVN 77 as the bridge between the current Nimitz class and a whole new generation of carriers, known as CVNX. Thus, to a large extent, officials told National Defense, the fate of the 114-year-old Newport News shipyard and future U.S. naval clout may depend upon the success of this project. It may seem unlikely that so much could depend upon a single ship, they said, but a nuclear aircraft carrier is no ordinary ship. The firepower of just one U.S. carrier-with 80 heavily armed aircraft-is equal to that of the entire air force of many countries. "The first question any president asks during a crisis is: 'Where is the closest carrier?'" said Robert C. Klosterman, manager of the new Virginia Advanced Shipbuilding and Carrier Integration Center, a joint effort between the state of Virginia, the city of Newport News and Newport News Shipbuilding.
