The National Shipbuilding Research Program, 1990 Ship Production Symposium, Paper No. 6B-1: Importance of Considering Life Cycle Maintenance and Modernization Costs in the Design of Navy Ships
2006
Bankes, F. W. | Spicknall, M. H.
Experience with maintenance and modernization (MIM) of Navy ships has shown that life cycle maintenance and modernization costs significantly exceed initial acquisition costs, particularly for submarines and complex surface combatants. The purpose of this paper is to draw increased attention to the influence that initial ship design has on the cost of maintenance and modernization of Navy ships, and to emphasize the need for greater consideration of these costs in Navy ship design.
