Why is DDG-1000 not in the report? Since we are paying for new DDG-51s, why aren't they in the report either? Does anyone else think it is very odd that the major surface combatants are not included in the FY2010 report, even though those programs have consumed the most money outside of aircraft carriers from the shipbuilding budget over the last few years?
