D.C. 20548 The Honorable Ted Stevens Chairman, Subcommittee on Defense Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: )077 I March 1, 1983 120771 Follow up of the Navy's Estimated Cost Avoidance/Earlier Delivery for Nimitz Class Aircraft Carriersj (GAO/PLRD-83-54) In response to your January 6, 1983 request and subsequent discussion with your staff, we have followed tip on our earlier report (MASAD-82-27, Mar. 26, 1982) on the Nimitz class (CVN) aircraft carriers. Our primary objective was to determine whether events that occurred since March 1982 influenced the projected earlier delivery and cost avoidance estimated by the Navy for the CVN-71, 72, and 73 aircraft carriers. We found: --Key events identified last year as being critical to the achievement of the CVN-72 and 73 earlier delivery and cost avoidance occurred as planned. --Events and assumptions affecting anticipated savings and the planned earlier delivery of the CVN-71 have not changed since last year. --The Navy is requesting $82.8 million more in its fiscal year 19e4 budget for CVN-72 and 73 escalation. --Verifying the total projected savings for the CVN-72 & 73 may be difficult because of the occurrence of events throughout the course of the contract. Our Office of the General Counsel reviewed the Navy's compliance with the provision of the 1983 Defense Appropriations Act, which stipulates that a firm, fixeJ price type contract be awarded for the carriers. Our legal opinion has been forwarded to you under separate cover.
