The following report summarises and analyses the findings of the Annual Long-Range Plan for Construction of Naval Vessels for FY 2023 while also bringing to light the possible paths the USN Ship Inventory may take.

The US Navy is going through a shift as a mixture of new philosophies, geopolitical pressures, and technologies are converging. Not to mention it is still feeling the impacts of the stalling caused by covid.

As it enters a new era of near-peer competition, the Navy hopes to decrease ship sizes while increasing ship numbers. Investing in a myriad of technologies, especially unmanned, the USN will expand its capability envelope, thus ensuring naval supremacy.

This report:

• Summarises the current shipbuilding plan of the USN

• Highlights the current challenges faced by the USN in shipbuilding

• Identifies the USN goals and ambitions in terms of industrial cooperation
