Crs Report for Congress - Navy Ddg-1000 (Dd(x)), CG(X), and Lcs Ship Acquisition Programs: Oversight Issues and Options for Congress: August 14, 2006 - Rl32109 (Paperback)

The Navy estimates that the next three DDG-1000s will cost an average of roughly $2.5 billion each. The Navy wants to procure the first CG(X) in FY2011. The first LCS was procured in FY2005, three more were procured in FY2006, and the Navy's proposed FY2007 budget requests $521 million to procure two additional ships.
