What changed
The Congressional Budget Office published testimony by Senior Analyst Eric J. Labs delivered at a joint House subcommittee hearing on April 22, 2026. The testimony examined challenges facing the Navy's and Coast Guard's shipbuilding programs, including delays, cost overruns, and supply chain constraints, as well as the capacity and resilience of the domestic shipbuilding industrial base.
Congressional testimony does not create binding compliance obligations. Defense contractors, shipbuilders, and maritime manufacturers with government contracts should monitor related Congressional hearings and CBO reports for policy implications regarding shipbuilding procurement, program funding, and industrial base support. Suppliers to naval and coast guard shipbuilding programs may face increased scrutiny of delivery timelines and cost management practices.
