## SEC. 338 REPORT ON RELOCATION OF STEAM TURBINE PRODUCTION FROM NIMITZ-CLASS AND FORD-CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND VIRGINIA-CLASS AND COLUMBIA-CLASS SUBMARINES Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition, shall develop and submit to Congress a report describing the potential impacts on national defense and the manufacturing base resulting from contractors or subcontractors relocating steam turbine production for Nimitz-class and Ford-class aircraft carriers and Virginia-class and Columbia-class submarines.

Such report shall address each of the following: ####

(1)The overall risk of moving production on the national security of the United States, including the likelihood of production delay or reduction in quality of steam turbines. ####

(2)The impact on national security from a delay in production of aircraft carriers and submarines. ####

(3)The impacts on regional suppliers the current production of steam turbines draw on and their ability to perform other contracts should a relocation happen. ####

(4)The impact on the national industrial and manufacturing base and loss of a critically skilled workforce resulting from a relocation of production. ####

(5)The risk of moving production on total cost of the acquisition.
