Procurement & Operating Cost Database

(Revised October 2024)

U.S. Naval Surface Combatant Procurement Cost Per Ton

NOTE: This was inspired by Eric J. Labs’ testimony before the Subcommittee on Seapower and Expeditionary Forces, U.S. House of Representatives, 31 July 2008 (http://www.cbo.gov/publication/20065). Light Ship Displacement is from the official USN Naval Vessels Register at (https://www.nvr.navy.mil/)..

Zumwalt's cost is about $9,450.8M for two ships (FY07-08) and $4342.4M for one ship (FY09-10) per Navy DDG-51 and DDG-1000 Destroyer Programs: Background and Issues for Congress.

DDG-1000 Design Goal for “Underway” Hours (Link to FAS)

“For a year of ship operation, 3,274 hours are steaming hours underway and 1,886 hours are steaming hours in port, the remaining hours are hours in port in which "hotel" services are provided.”

Since there are 8,765 hours in one year, this design goal breaks down as:

37% Underway
21% In Port (Ships' Internal Power)
41% In Port (Hotel Power Provided)

NOTE: Costs do not include nuclear fuel. Nuclear fuel costs were removed to make the nuclear carrier investment costs comparable to the conventional carrier costs. Initial nuclear fueling costs of $291 million were excluded from the ship procurement cost, and nuclear fuel costs of $238 million were excluded from the nuclear refueling complex overhaul cost. The service life added after the midlife modernization is dependent on the carrier’s tempo of operations (i.e., the rate of fuel depletion).

NOTE: Interestingly, if you take the 3.842 cost relative to procurement and divide it by an expected lifetime of 50 years, you get... 0.07684, or 7.684% a year cost; which is very close to the FY88 operating ratio of 6.195% for CVN-68 class ships.

[*] NOTE: In 1991, they put $34M of 16-inch ammo costs onto BB-61 O&M costs. Supposedly this was done as a hedge against future unknown costs. With the ammo costs included, the BB-61 cost is $112.2M. Per the author, the only munitions costs that appear to be included for all the other ships are training munitions and munitions handling.
