 As recently as three years ago, the U.S. Navy's long-term shipbuilding plan laid out a stable path for Ingalls Shipbuilding. The Navy planned to buy two or three Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers each year, splitting the work between the Pascagoula, Mississippi-based Ingalls shipyard and General Dynamic's Bath Iron Works in Maine.

 The Service was also set to purchase San Antonio-class amphibious transport docks well into the future, initially at one every other year, and eventually moved to one per year.

 While the next America-class amphibious assault ship, LHA-6, would be stretched over a longer-than-ideal construction timeline, the Navy would eventually buy one every three or four years. And though the Coast Guard's Legend-class National Security Cutter program was coming to an end, there were several options for Navy to replace that work.

 3年前，美國海軍長期造艦計畫為英格爾斯造船公司鋪設了康莊大道。海軍當時計畫每年採購2至3艘勃克級神盾飛彈驅逐艦，並將造艦工程分包給位於密西西比州伯斯卡古拉市的英格爾斯造船廠，和位於緬因州的巴斯鋼鐵造船廠執行。

 海軍也計畫採購聖安東尼奧級兩棲登陸船塢艦，以因應未來作戰需要。初期每2年採購1艘，後續則每年採購1艘。

 至於新一代美國級LHA-6兩棲攻擊艦，將以較長的時程建造；海軍最終將每3至4年採購1艘。另外，雖然海岸防衛隊傳奇級國家維安巡邏艦計畫已告終，對海軍而言，仍有數個可取代的選項。
