Navy Force Planning and Design examines how post-World War II Navy Chiefs of Operations (CNOs) planned future fleets and how they integrated long-range planning, strategy, and budgeting and programming into the process. It assesses the external and internal impediments CNOs faced in implementing future force planning and the different approaches they adopted to overcome them. The study concludes with implications to consider in future Navy force planning and design. Vice Admiral Jeffrey W. Hughes Deputy Chief of Staff for Capability Development, NATO Allied Command Transformation, North Atlantic Treaty Organization provides an authoritative foreword for this publication.
