September 12. 1978. 50 pp. # 3 appendices (6 pp.). Report to Rep. George H. Habon, Chairman, House Committee on Appropziatiops; by Elmer B. Staats, Comptroller General. Issue Irea: facilities and material management (700). Contact: Logistics and Communications Div. Budget Function: National Defense: Department of Defense - military (except procurement & contracts) (0SI). Organization Concerned: Department of Defense; Department of the Navy. congressional Relevancet House Committee on rned Services; . mate Committee on Armed Services. Rep. George U. Hahon. The Navy's Ship Support Improveoent Project is designed to analyze and develop a maintenance system for all Navy aurface ship classes. Concepts are being developed to bring about an early improvement in the ships$ material conditicn, extend the operaticnal use of ships, and improve material readiness. The project encompasses four major programs: Guided missile Frigate Class Support, Ingineered Operating Cycles# Intersed$ate Maintenance Activity Upgrade, and maintenance System Development. The total cost of the project fox fiscal years 1977 to 1983 is an estimated $644 million. Findings/Comclusions: The Guided missile Frigate Class Support program calls for small cres, modular replacement-type repairs, and progressivrs overhauls. Potential problem areas that could affect t:ie siccess of the program include: the data base, a new supply support concept, and adherence to the class maintenance plan. The Engineered Operating Cycle Program is intended tc extend the interval between major ship overhauls, Problem areas for this program also involve the data base on which new maintenance and logistics concepts are based. Modernization and improvement activities of shore and afloat intermediate maintenance activities may be premature for the following reasons: intermediate-level mai2tenance workload needs to be more accurately defined; the Navy needs to determine the most effective way to satisfy intermediate-level workloads; and the impact cf changing Navy maintenance concepts needs to be more fully evaluated. It is premature to draw any firm conclusions with regard to the maintenance System Development Program since it is in the earliest stages. Becommendaticns: In view of current Navy efforts to obtain funds to upgrade and improve intermediate-level maintenance facilities, the House Appropriations Committee should require the Navy to provide specific evidence demonstrating the need for such facilities. The committee should also require the Navy to report periodically on the results of the various program studies and their implementation status and, if they are not imple.ented, to explain why.
