- Navy Ship Acquisition: Options for Lower-Cost Ship Designs - Issues for Congress
- Rising procurement costs for Navy ships have recently emerged as a matter of concern for both Navy officials and some Members of Congress who track Navyrelated issues. Combined with constraints on ship-procurement funding, these rising costs have caused the Navy to reduce planned ship procurement rates.

- Navy Ship Procurement: Alternative Funding Approaches - Background and Options for Congress
- Some observers have proposed procuring Navy ships using incremental funding or advance appropriations rather than the traditional full funding approach that has been used to procure most Navy ships. Supporters believe these alternative funding approaches could increase stability in Navy shipbuilding plans and perhaps increase the number of Navy ships that could be built for a given total amount of ship procurement funding. The issue for the 109th Congress is whether to maintain or change current practices for funding Navy ship procurement. Congress’ decision could be significant because the full funding policy relates to Congress’ power of the purse and its responsibility for conducting oversight of defense programs.
