About NAVSEA

NAVSEA is comprised of 60,000 civilian, military and contract support personnel, command staff, headquarters directorates, affiliated Program Executive Offices (PEOs) and numerous field activities. Together, they engineer, build, buy and maintain ships, submarines and combat systems that meet the Fleet’s current and future operational requirements. NAVSEA is the largest of the Navy’s five system commands, accounting for one quarter of the Navy’s entire budget, with a fiscal year budget of nearly $30 billion.

NAVSEA manages 150 acquisition programs and foreign military sales cases that include billions of dollars in annual military sales to partner nations. It has 33 activities in 16 states and strives to be an efficient provider of defense resources for the nation as well as the Navy Enterprise. As a Provider Command, it has the responsibility of directing resource sponsors into the proper mix of manpower and resources to properly equip the fleet.

NAVSEA has the further responsibility of establishing and enforcing technical authority in combat system design and operation. These technical standards use the organization's technical expertise to ensure systems are engineered effectively, and that they operate safely and reliably.
