This thesis focuses on the French Navy's resource management effects in the areas of ship construction, maintenance and personnel. The central question is whether the French Navy will be able to both upgrade an ageing fleet, and man that projected new fleet with qualified personnel, given defense budget constraints and the fact that naval pay scales are falling below those in the private sector. The thesis concludes that novel approaches to maintenance and upkeep, and a reform of length of...

This thesis develops a model that provides a credible and reliable rough order magnitude (ROM) Life Cycle Cost Estimate (LCCE) for a newly constructed U. S. Navy Dock Landing Ship, LSD(X), over the various phases of design, procurement, and operations and support costs. The Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA) Curriculum at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will use this estimate to help establish the costs of the proposed alternatives for LSD(X). This study also includes a cost benefit...

This thesis presents an analysis of the Ship Construction and Conversion, Navy, Appropriation cost estimates for the ship construction during the period 1960-1992. Emphasis is placed on four specific shipbuilding programs: Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG-51), Fleet Ballistic Submarine (Trident), Attack Submarine (SSN-688), and Guided Missile Cruiser (CG-47). These programs are analyzed to determine how competition/dual sourcing, contract type and the shipbuilding marketplace have influenced to...

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a cost-optimization model that will help reduce the installation cost of fiber-optic cable onboard new construction naval vessels. The data used to develop the optimization models were collected from visits to naval shipyards and interviews with both fiber-optic cable engineers and installation experts at shipyards, as well as MIL-PRF 85045F and cable manufacturers specification sheets. The information compiled from these sources was used to develop a...

The budget to build ships and modernize and sustain the C4I systems installed is limited. Lead times for contracting are long, while technology changes rapidly after contract award. The shipboard C4I network examined in this thesis typifies this dichotomy. The challenge is to provide the latest shipboard network that meets the C4I capability needs of the warfighter at ship delivery, while at the same time supporting the shipbuilder’s need for Government Furnished Information (GFI) and...

This study presents three models by which the total procurement cost of Destroyer and Destroyer Escorts may be estimated. One model utilizes 9 subsystem costs estimating relationships (CERs) to obtain a total cost estimate; the second model utilizes subsystem CERs; the final model is a single total cost equation. The CERs were developed using the linear least squares regression technique on a data base of ships built from 1954-66. The CERs utilize input variables that may be determined long...
