Book excerpt: The Navy maintains the submarine launched ballistic missile force in a high state of readiness because of its strategically important deterrent mission. The Navy achieves this favorable readiness posture through special emphasis on management, staffing, equipment, maintenance, and supply support. Costs to design, procure, operate, and maintain this system average over $4 billion annually. This report presents information on the system's readiness condition, the reasons for its high readiness, the costs of achieving and maintaining this readiness, and the Navy's efforts in relating costs to various readiness options.
