Summary:

Since 1994, the Navy has been working on a two-phase research and development program to address shortfalls in its naval surface fire support capabilities. GAO has already reported on the Navy's compliance with legislation directing it to retain two Iowa class battleships and their logistical support infrastructure. (See GAO/NSIAD-99-62, Apr. 1999.) This report describes the Navy's effort to modernize its naval surface fire support capabilities and identifies the cost of the modernization. An upcoming report will analyze the Navy's assessment of the costs associated with alternative ways to carry out the naval surface fire-support mission, including reactivating two battleships.
