Such a loss could result in higher costs and delays when the next submarine design is undertaken, as well as risks to system performance and safety. The authors estimate and compare the costs and delays of letting design capability erode vs. those of alternative means of managing the workload and workforce over the gap in design demand and beyond. The authors recommend that the Navy consider stret 606 $aNuclear submarines$zUnited States$xDesign and construction$y21st century 606 $aShipbuilding industry$xEmployees$zUnited States$y21st century 606 $aNavy-yards and naval stations$zUnited States 615 0$aNuclear submarines$xDesign and construction 615 0$aShipbuilding industry$xEmployees 615 0$aNavy-yards and naval stations 676 $a359.9/3 701 $aSchank$b John F$g(John Frederic),$f1946-$0864820 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220106003321 996 $aSustaining U.S. nuclear submarine design capabilities$91930368 997 $aUNINA
