Book excerpt: (cont.) The thesis finds that though a new ship was justified in the post-Cold War world, the actual design of that ship was determined by bureaucratic politics and the ship's procurement plan was determined by pork-barrel politics, neither of which properly served the nation's strategic interests. The thesis recommends that the DDG 1000 be used solely as a technology demonstration platform, reducing procurement spending while salvaging its technological advances; that the DDG 1000 be procured from a single shipyard; that the Navy design a smaller and cheaper warship to serve the needs of the future fleet; and that the nation implement specific measures to reduce the influence of bureaucratic politics and pork barrel politics on resource allocation and procurement.
