Read below for the basic themes of the report and a table of contents.

Key Themes in this Report The National Defense Strategy provides the overarching guidance and high level requirements for establishing the Navy the Nation Needs (NNN), the Navy’s plan for building and sustaining a lethal, resilient force through balanced investments across readiness, capability, and capacity. This 30-year shipbuilding plan is the foundation for growing capacity with the following key themes:  Acts on the policy legislation provided by Congress in the 2018 NDAA, which supports Navy’s validated NNN requirement for 355 Battle Force ships.  Includes 54 Battle Force ships within the FYDP (11 more than PB2018 request), and all candidate Service Life Extensions (SLE).  Anticipates achieving a 355 ship Battle Force beyond 2050, but also frames options for potentially accelerating to the 2030s with additional resources, service life extensions, and strong industry response.  Provides scalable acquisition profiles that promote a stable and efficient industrial base that encourages industry investment in capital improvements, capital expansion, and a properly sized world-class workforce.
