One approach might be to alter the employment schedules of Navy surface vessels to get the greatest benefit in terms of operating efficiency and crew effectiveness. The Navy is currently transitioning from a 32-month to a 36-month cycle, but adopting a 72-month operational cycle could increase the time surface vessels are deployed, allow for multiple deployments between depot availabilities, reduce the number of basic training periods, and achieve some cost savings by removing the crews during the depot maintenance period. This report assesses a 72-month operational schedule followed by an extended depot maintenance period for one class of ships - the DDG-51 Arleigh Burke class of destroyers - to determine what cost and efficiency benefits this approach might yield. The authors find that this longer cycle would lead to a modest increase in operational availability but also to an increase in maintenance costs, and that it would require the Navy to better address ongoing maintenance issues that have accrued over the years"--Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 93-97). 505 0 $a DDG-51 fleet and employment scheduling -- Addressing maintenance demands in the 72-month cycle -- DDG-51 manpower and training -- Effect of a longer operational cycle on personnel tempo and operating tempo -- Scheduling model and its outputs -- Findings, conclusions, and recommendations. 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x Operational readiness. 610 20 $a Arleigh Burke (Destroyer) 650 0 $a Destroyers (Warships) $z United States $x Maintenance and repair. 700 1 $a Tremblay, Daniel, $e author. 700 1 $a Perkinson, Brian, $e author. 700 1 $a Allen, Brenna, $e author. 700 1 $a Tidwell, Abraham, $e author. 700 1 $a Sollinger, Jerry M., $e author. 710 2 $a National Defense Research Institute (U.S.), $e sponsoring body. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation, $e issuing body. 830 0 $a Research report (Rand Corporation) ; $v RR-1235-NAVY. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826051658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=261077786B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
