Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


The Navy's Submarine Launched Ballistic

Missile Force Is Highly Ready


       ./

The Navy maintains the submarine launched
ballistic missile force in a high state of readi-
ness because of its strategically important
deterrent mission. The Navy achieves this         6?
favorable readiness posture through special
emphasis on management, staffing, equip-
ment, maintenance, and supply support. Costs
to design, procure, operate, and maintain this
system average over $4 billion annually.   j

This report presents information on the sys-
tem's readiness condition, the reasons for its
high readiness, the costs of achieving and
maintaining this readiness, and the Navy's
efforts in relating costs to various readiness
options. The report also provides GAO's
observations for improved program manage-
ment and issues which the Congress may want
to pursue with the Navy.
