ground combat vehicle program, not more than 70 percent 
may be obligated or expended until the date on which the

of alternatives, including a quantitative analysis, of such 
program that compares the vehicle survivability, force pro-
tection, mobility, and other key capabilities of—

operational needs with respect to combat theaters of oper-

SEC. 213. LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR 
OHIO-CLASS BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINE 
REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) On May 13, 2010, the President submitted 
to Congress the report required under section 1251 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2010 (Public Law 111–84; 123 Stat. 2549) 
that stated, ‘‘The Secretary of Defense, based on 
recommendations from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has 
established a baseline nuclear force structure that 
fully supports U.S. security requirements and con-
forms to the New START limits. . . The United 
States will reduce the number of SLBM launchers 
(launch tubes) from 24 to 20 per SSBN, and deploy 
no more than 240 SLBMs at any time.’’. 
(2) On January 10, 2011, the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logis-
tics issued an acquisition decision memorandum for 
the Ohio-class submarine replacement program 
whereby the Navy received Milestone A approval to 
proceed with a replacement design based on 16 mis-
sile tubes. 
(3) Consistent with the reductions and limita-
tions established in the New START Treaty, which 
entered into force on February 5, 2011, more than

two-thirds of the deployed nuclear deterrent force of 
the United States are planned to be carried on bal-
listic missile submarines. 
(4) The Commander of the United States Stra-
tegic Command testified on March 2, 2011, that, 
‘‘The issue of the number of tubes is not a simple 
black and white answer,’’ but rather it is comprised 
of several issues including, ‘‘the overall number of 
tubes we wind up with at the end. . . flexibility and 
options with how many warheads per missile per 
tube. . . the overall number of boats. . . and many 
other factors.’’. He further stated that, ‘‘Sixteen 
[missile 
tubes 
per 
submarine] 
will 
meet 
STRATCOM’s requirements, given that we are sit-
ting here 20 years in advance.’’. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) the long-term ability of the United States to 
maintain a nuclear force sufficient to address the 
range of mission requirements necessary to deter, 
dissuade, and defeat potential adversaries and as-
sure allies and partners must not be comprised sole-
ly on the basis of the promise of potential cost sav-
ings resulting from the decision of the Secretary of 
Defense to reduce the planned number of missile

24 to 16; and 
(2) because the planned Ohio-class replacement 
ballistic submarine is expected to be in operation 
through 2080, near-term design decisions should 
take into consideration uncertainties in the future 
threat and strategic environment.
