Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • The Navy has continued to routinely and effectively deploy combat ready ships in support of the Global War on Terror and other missions.
  • The Navy is institutionalizing an improved training, maintenance and deployment cycle, known as the Fleet Response Plan. The goal of the Fleet Response Plan is to improve the efficiency of the fleet by producing more ships that are ready for deployment at any given time than under the old Cold War deployment and maintenance schedules.
  • The Navy reviews its current and planned future operations on a continuous basis for this program. The Navy balances risk and funding levels while incorporating the latest pricing and financial execution data.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Evaluating Fleet Response Plan implementation to ensure that proper readiness levels are maintained and global ship presence requirements are being met.
  • Providing adequate funding to support the Fleet Response Plan goals so that the Nation has the capability to surge six carriers to sea within 30 days, and two additional carriers within 90 days.
