GAO says Navy public shipyards need decades more to fix
Original: The Navy’s public shipyards will take more decades to repair, GAO says
A Government Accountability Office report finds the Navy's four public shipyards will require several more decades to be fully repaired and modernized. The yards, which maintain the nuclear fleet, suffer from aging infrastructure, outdated equipment and delayed capital investment, extending maintenance times for attack submarines and carriers and reducing ships available for deployment.
Why now: Concern over fleet readiness and maintenance backlogs amid rising tensions with China and Russia is keeping naval shipyard conditions in the news.
