Title: Navy Major Shipbuilding Programs and Shipbuilders: Issues and Options for Congress
Authors: Ronald O'Rourke, Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division 
Abstract: This report focuses on the Navy's major shipbuilding programs and on the six private U.S. shipyards associated with those programs. These six yards are currently highly dependent on Navy shipbuilding programs and are major employers in their home States. The report examines the adequacy of the FY1996-FY2001 shipbuilding plan, the question of how many major shipbuilders the Navy needs, and options for Congress.
