The analysis-which aims to provide context for assessing the costs of the new littoral combat ship (LCS)-focuses on the following ship programs: MCM-1 Avenger class mine countermeasures ships, a FFG-7 Oliver Hazard Perry class guided missile frigates, a DDG-51 Flight IIA Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyers, and a CG-47 Ticonderoga class guided missile cruisers. CBO chose those four classes because they have been in the fleet for decades, data for them are readily available, and they all conduct at least one mission that the LCS is also expected to perform. Using the Department of Defense's (DoD's) definitions of cost categories, CBO calculated costs over the life of each type of ship in the following six categories: * Research and development, a Procurement, a Personnel, a Fuel, www.cbo.gov
