On March 23, 2001, the Washingto Post reported that the Bush Adminstration's top-to-bottom review of U.S. defense policy and programs "is likely to call on the Navy to stop building huge aircraft carriers and start designing a new, smaller carrier that is less vulnerable to missiles." Such a change, if implemented, would have major implications for Navy operations, force-structure planning, procurement programs, and budgets. In particular, it could lead to the curtailment or cancellation of the Navy's CVNX next-generation aircraft carrier program. A shift toward production of smaller carriers could also significantly affect the U.S. aircraft carrier inducstrial base, including Newport News Shipbuinding of Newport News, VA, the nation's only builder of large-deck, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Potential issues for Congress include the merits larger vs. smaller carriers, potential options for what a smaller carrier might look like, and acquistion strategy and the aircraft carrier construciton industrial base. This report is intended primarily for Members and staffers who track defense issues, particularly those relating to the Navy. It will be updated as events warrant.
