Addabbo ~ 1li!11111 Chairman, Subcommittee on Defense Committee on Appropriations I15403 House of Representatives Subject: gpte of the Issues Concerning the Proposed Reactivation of the Iowa Class Battleships and the Aircraft Carrier Oriskanyj(PLRD-81-21) Dear Mr. Chairman: Your March 19, 1981, letter requested us to update5 the House Committee on Appropriations' Surveys and Investigative Staff's July 1980 gtudy. You specifically requested that we review and update Linformation in the study concerning the Navy's proposal to reactivate four Iowa class battleships and the aircraft carrier Oriskany. I Updated information concern- ing the Navy's proposal and most of the issues addressed in the Surveys and Investigative Staff study are provided in enclosure I. On the basis of our preliminary analysis, it appears that the concerns raised in the Surveys and Investigative Staff study remain valid. These concerns include: --Capability of Navy shipyards to overhaul the New Jersey and Oriskany. --Capability to complete overhauls on schedule. --Reasonableness of cost estimates and time to complete overhauls. Because of the limited time available to update the many issues discussed in the Surveys and Investigative Staff study, we were unable to verify or corroborate statements made by Navy officials. In addition, much of the information pro- vided by the Navy was in the formulative stage and could not be validated. However, the information we obtained pertinent to the issues in the Surveys and Investigative Staff study clearly showed that the Navy needs to refine and provide additional information for the Committee's consideration.
