We Can’t Keep our SSNs Certified for Sea
• Between 2008 – 2018 SSNs incurred >10,0000 days of idle time
waiting on other ships to complete overhauls
• USS Boise (SSN 764) spent 4 years waiting to enter overhaul
and will now go more than a full decade between deployments
• 5 Years for a 6-month Availability (USS Helena (SSN 725))
• Between 2015-2019 75% of Naval Shipyard maintenance
periods were completed late, with an average delay of 225
days per SSN (7,241 days of CVN/SSN total delay)
• CBO forecasts that in 25 of the next 30 years SSN maintenance
demand will exceed existing shipyard capacity

“I don’t have enough capacity.

I don’t have enough dry docks, and I don’t have enough shipyards”

 This Project Started in Response to
GAO Report 19-229
• While the submarine maintenance crisis
had existed for a significant period, before
this GAO Report was published it was not
known outside of the Navy. This GAO
Report was a wake-up call for us.

• This GAO Report came on the heels of our

effort to develop a feasible CVN recycling
plan and led to a series of events. These
events included meetings with associates
and with the Navy.

• The result was the formation of Bartlett

Maritime Corporation and a multi-million-
dollar multi-year commitment by CAPT
Bartlett to assist the Navy in solving this
problem.

 The Critical Skilled Trades Shortfall
along the 3 Ocean Coasts Continues to Get Worse

• Thousands of open shipbuilding jobs to fill on

the nation’s 3 ocean coasts
• Many available trainees in Ohio. . .

The Navy has Called up 1,600 Reservists to Work in the

Naval Shipyards to Fill Open Skilled Trades Positions 7

 Navy Efficiency Initiatives
Alone are Not Enough
• American Naval Depot, Lordstown
is a Navy-Originated Concept to
Improve Overall Naval Shipyard
Throughput

• American Naval Shipyard, Lorain

brings the Total Number of
Certified Naval Shipyard Drydocks
to 20

• This Project Importantly Adds

Geographic Diversity and Expands
the Overall Available Labor Pool

• The Proposed New Facilities Close

the Gap to Achieve Required
Capacity and Capability, while
Accelerating Shipyard
Infrastructure Optimization
Program (SIOP) Completion

The Bartlett Maritime Plantm is the Only Affordable

Alternative Which Can Close the Gap 88

 • The CBO workload forecast averages 2,500 personnel more demand
The Congressional than supply (reflects universal 20% overtime and only partial overhead
Budget Office staffing; all at historical productivity plus Navy forecast efficiency
Independently gains). This equates to approximately 5,000 total personnel.
Arrived at the
Same Result as • In January 2019 the Navy forecast “being caught up” by now – but is
the Bartlett farther behind now than in 2019 (The Navy fleet maintenance demand
has exceeded the forecast for most of this century)
Maritime Analysis
• The FY22 Long Range Shipbuilding Plan forecasts Submarine Force
growth of 15-24% – further exacerbating this problem

CBO & BMC Independently Developed the Same Forecast:

Additional Submarine Maintenance Capacity is Clearly Required

OGTCtm – A Proven Design Basis
• During transit the
SSN remains
primarily
supported by its
own buoyancy
• The OGTCtm
provides all
normal “shore

transiting SSN
• The cargo
chamber remains
open to sea, with
continuous
chamber flow

Low Risk; Proven Concept; Complete Cargo Protection

 Final Note:
Collaboration, Not
Competition, with
Existing Shipyards
• This project only seeks to expand Naval Shipyard capacity and
capability in order to restore and maintain full fleet readiness – it is
not competitive with nor a threat to the existing Naval Shipyards
(Portsmouth, Pearl Harbor, Norfolk and Puget Sound)
• This project is not a substitute for the Shipyard Infrastructure
Optimization Plan (SIOP) and related Navy initiatives – these
initiatives are urgently required at all 4 existing Naval Shipyards
• The proposed facilities will not have the unique equipment required
to build new ships or submarines – and is therefore not
competitive with either Electric Boat or Newport News. EB & NNS
both require full capacity to build new nuclear-powered ships – our
future fleet
• The Bartlett Maritime Plantm deconflicts accelerating urgently
required upgrades at existing Naval Shipyards while protecting
the entire US Navy shipbuilding and repair enterprise industrial
base by quickly adding required capacity and capability without
sacrificing other priorities in today’s constrained budget
environment

• Then: 12% of US WW2 Submarines were
innovatively built in the Great Lakes (28 of 226)
• Now: China is Building 2 new Submarine
