As provided by section 8107 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 ( Public Law 113–76 ), funds in the Ship, Modernization, Operations, and Sustainment Fund may be used only for 11 Ticonderoga-class cruisers (CG 63 through CG 73) and 3 dock landing ships (LSD 41, LSD 42, and LSD 46).

(b)of the vessels specified in subsection (a)(2), the Secretary of the Navy shall— continue to maintain the vessels in a manner that will ensure the ability of the vessels to reenter the operational fleet; conduct planning activities to ensure scheduled and deferred maintenance and modernization work items are identified and included in maintenance availability work packages; and conduct hull, mechanical, and electrical and combat system modernization necessary to achieve a service life of 40 years. During the period of modernization under subsection
(b)of the vessels specified in subsection (a)(2), the Secretary may not— permit removal or cannibalization of equipment or systems to support operational vessels, other than— rotatable pool equipment; and equipment or systems necessary to support urgent operational requirements (but only with the approval of the Secretary of Defense); or make any irreversible modifications that will prohibit the vessel from reentering the operational fleet. At the same time as the submittal to Congress of the budget of the President under section 1105 of title 31, United States, for each fiscal year during which activities under the modernization of vessels will be carried out under this section, the Secretary of the Navy shall submit to the congressional defense committees a written report on the status of the modernization of vessels under this section. Each report under this subsection shall include the following: The status of modernization efforts, including availability schedules, equipment procurement schedules, and by-fiscal year funding requirements.

A list of equipment, other than rotatable pool equipment and components incidental to performing maintenance, removed from each such vessel, including a justification for the removal, the disposition of the equipment, and plan for restoration of the equipment. A detailed plan for obligations and expenditures by vessel for the fiscal year beginning during the calendar year during which the report is submitted, and projections of obligations by vessel by fiscal year for the remaining time a vessel is projected to be in the modernization program. A statement of the funding required for that fiscal year to ensure the Ship, Modernization, Operations, and Sustainment Fund account has adequate resources to execute the plan under subparagraph
(F)for that fiscal year and the following fiscal year. Not later than 30 days before executing any material deviation from a plan described in paragraph (2)(F) for a fiscal year, the Secretary shall notify the congressional defense committees in writing of such deviation from the plan. Section 1023 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 ( Public Law 113–66 ; 127 Stat. 846) is repealed.
