Such repairs are sometimes beyond the capability of the ship's crew to perform; cannot be deferred; and must be made at a remote location. After the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission recommended closing the former Naval Ship Repair Facility, Guam, the Navy leased the property at that facility to the Guam Economic Development and Commerce Authority, which sub-leased the property to a private shipyard. DOD has since begun planning for a military buildup on Guam. In January 2007 the Navy recommended allowing the private shipyard's lease on Navy land to expire in 2012. Consequently, the House Armed Services Committee asked GAO to determine the extent to which the Navy has (1) identified future ship repair requirements at Guam, and (2) identified and assessed options to address those requirements. GAO reviewed documents related to ship maintenance and interviewed officials affiliated with private contractors, the Guam government, the Marine Corps, Military Sealift Command, and the Navy in conducting this review. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-427/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-427.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-427/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-427.pdf GAO-08-427 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-427 Other Written Product GAO-08-427; Defense Logistics: Navy Needs to Develop and Implement a Plan to Ensure That Voyage Repairs Are Available to Ships Operating near Guam when Needed; Data collection Defense capabilities Defense contingency planning Equipment maintenance Equipment repairs Facility repairs Force structure Logistics Military forces Military vessels Naval bases Naval facilities Naval operations Naval procurement Performance appraisal Repairs Requirements definition Risk assessment Risk management Ships Shipyards Strategic planning Guam
