The House Armed Services Committee is taking action to address delays and cost overruns in US Navy shipbuilding. The committee is pushing for the Navy to complete a ship's design "100 percent" before starting lead vessel construction, a policy change aimed at closing loopholes and avoiding incomplete designs that lead to major problems. Rep. Joe Courtney cited the Littoral Combat Ship as a prime example of how incomplete design can lead to frustrating outcomes. The amendment requiring 100% design completion was included in the House's draft of the next defense policy bill, suggesting bipartisan support. This legislative push reflects ongoing Congressional oversight of Navy shipbuilding to improve program outcomes and avoid repeating past mistakes. #NavyShipbuilding #DefenseIndustry #CongressionalOversight #NavalPower #DefensePolicy #FiscalResponsibility
