February 2010Protecting Readiness to Meet Today’s Challengeslives; the Ship Maintenance and Ship Depot Operations Support budgets reflect thiscommitment, to include establishment of the Surface Ship Life Cycle Management(SSLCM) Activity.Mission funding maintains cost visibility and performance accountability byproviding a consistent financial system across all ship maintenance activities,improved efficiency and cost consciousness. The Department’s active shipmaintenance baseline budget supports 79 percent of the notional O&M maintenanceprojections in FY 2011. An additional 20 percent of the total requirement issupported in the request driven by overseas contingency operations.Beginning in FY 2010, the Department realigned the SSBN Engineered RefuelingOverhaul (ERO) funding to align the ERO work and budget responsibilities withthose of other ship depot maintenance. In FY 2011 the repair portion of all SSBNengineered overhauls is funded in O&MN and the equipment procurement portionis funded in OPN. Projected work on refueling overhauls remains 100 percentfunded in FY 2011.The Nation’s public and private shipyardsmake up the Navy’s repair base and intotal have the capability to execute shipmaintenance as well as those deferredmaintenance amounts reflected in Figure23. Annual deferred maintenance is workthat was not performed when it shouldhave been due to fiscal constraints. Thisincludes items that were not scheduled ornot included in an original work packagedue to fiscal constraints, but excludes those items that arose since a ship’s lastmaintenance period. As the execution year progresses, the workload can fluctuate,impacted by factors such as growth in scope and new work on maintenanceavailabilities, changes in private shipyard cost and shipyard capacity. While someamount of prior years’ deferred maintenance may be executable in following years(depending on deployment schedules and shipyard capacity), the numbers in Figure23 reflect only those individual years’ deferred maintenance, not a cumulativeamount.FY 2011 Department of the Navy Budget 4‐9
