Table 1.
Emphasis and Cost of the Alternatives in the Navy’s 2024 Plan, as Assessed by CBO

Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Alternative 3

The Navy would buy more large
surface combatants and fewer
attack submarines than under
Alternative 2 but would buy more
next-generation variants of those
ships. It would buy the fewest large
Emphasis amphibious ships but would build
small amphibious ships faster than
under Alternative 2.
The Navy would place the most
emphasis on undersea warfare by
buying more submarines than under
the other alternatives. It would buy
fewer next-generation submarines
and more submarines of existing
classes. It would buy more large
amphibious ships than under
Alternative 1 and fewer small ships
than under Alternatives 1 or 3.
The Navy would buy more of all
types of ships (and many more
support ships), except for
submarines, than under the other
alternatives. Like Alternative 1, this
alternative emphasizes moving to
the next generation of major
combatants.

Features common to all Under all alternatives, the Navy would seek to maintain a balanced fleet with proportionate mixtures of large
three alternatives and small combatants. A large carrier force would be maintained under each alternative, and the same number
of ballistic missile submarines would be purchased.

Average annual cost of all

shipbuilding activities 33.8 33.6 36.1
(billions of 2023 dollars)
