Book Description
For FY1999, the Administration is requesting funding for both CVN-77, a modified Nimitz (CVN-68) class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to be procured in FY2001, and the CVX, an aircraft carrier planned for procurement in FY2006 that will be a further-evolved version of the Nimitz-class design. Issues for Congress to consider include FY1999 research and development funding for the two ships and the merits of the Navy's plan to incrementally evolve the Nimitz-class design.
