Nuclear submarine design resources at the shipyards, their suppliers, and the Navy may erode for lack of demand. Analysis of alternative workforce and workload management options suggests that the U.S. Navy should stretch out the design of the next submarine class and start it early or sustain design resources above the current demand, so that the next class may be designed on time, on budget, and with low risk.

RAND therefore investigated cost-effective workforce-management strategies, alternative workload allocations, and the relevant best practices of comparable organizations. The authors concluded that the Navy uses practices common in other organizations to manage workload variability and uncertainty. However, the Navy's workload forecasts have consistently underestimated the eventual demand on the shipyards. To accomplish the additional, unplanned work, the Navy has used overtime levels that significantly exceed cost-effective levels."-- P. [4] of cover.

In-sourcing has gained momentum in recent years, but producing definitive guidance that can be used to objectively determine the appropriate balance between contractor and government staff has proven quite challenging. The authors review the recent history of sourcing in the Department of Defense, assess relevant laws and policies, offer interpretations of key terms, and describe an approach to implementing current in-sourcing guidance.

The U.S. Navy's ship inventory and the shipbuilding and repair industrial base that supports these ships have experienced significant changes. In the next 30 years, additional significant changes to the fleet composition and the maintenance requirements of the fleet are likely. This report assesses possible supply and demand capabilities in the ship maintenance workload for the Navy and notes long-term challenges facing mitigation efforts.

The current strategy for U.S. naval power is embodied in "Sea Power 21,"' which would integrate naval forces for global joint operations against regional and transnational threats. Three fundamental concepts underlie Sea Power 21: Sea Strike, which increases the ability to project precise and persistent offensive power from the sea; Sea Shield, which extends naval defensive firepower beyond the task force; and Sea Basing, which enhances operational independence and support for the joint force by placing at sea (to a greater extent than ever before) capabilities that are critical to joint and coalition operational success.
