href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/naval\/2021\/03\/03\/surface-ship-readiness-continues-to-struggle-navy-inspections-show\/\" target=\"_blank\">declined slightly in fiscal 2022<\/a>, \u201cresuming a slight but steady negative trend\u201d that has occurred since fiscal 2017, according to the Navy\u2019s annual Board of Inspection and Survey, or INSURV, report released by the Navy on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report notes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/naval\/2020\/10\/05\/the-us-navys-aging-surface-fleet-struggles-to-keep-ships-up-to-spec-report-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\">the negative trend<\/a> \u201cis more notable\u201d due to changes in INSURV calculations that adhere more closely to Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">INSURV also removed major system demonstration and administrative program scores from the INSURV Figure of Merit, or IFOM, calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe updated IFOM calculation generates a more focused measure of overall material condition,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.militarytimes.com\/assets\/pdfs\/1685738211.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Go here to read the full INSURV report<\/a> that was sent to Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The board changed its ship inspection waiver policy in FY20, requiring vessels to be inspected every three years or be considered overdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of FY22, roughly 44 percent of vessels were overdue for inspection, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also warns that INSURV does not have enough people to inspect every ship every three years, and notes that it had to lean on Regional Maintenance Center technicians to serve as inspectors.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside

sufficient funded billets to perform all inspection elements, especially the most specialized, specific technical requirements,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/naval\/2020\/10\/08\/us-navy-inspections-of-ingalls-built-ships-uncovered-significant-problems-report-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\">the material condition of surface ships<\/a>, submarines and aircraft carriers \u201call declined slightly from FY 2021,\u201d but that the largest year-to-year drop occurred in the Military Sealift Command Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOverall, several functional areas and subsystems remain degraded or show declining trends, indicative of areas where material readiness is stressed,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">INSURV conducted 80 material inspections of in-service vessels in FY22, a 72 percent increase in total inspections compared to the six-year average, the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspectors also conducted 23 trials of new-construction ships, along with eight surveys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of those, the Virginia-class submarine, Independence-class littoral combat ship, Spearhead-class expeditionary fast transport, ship-to-shore connector, yard tug and barracks barge programs performed well on trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe remaining programs experienced significant deviations from OPNAV trial requirements, missed key program milestones, or had declining trial performance during the fiscal year,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">INSURV conducts a range of inspections of ships already in the fleet and those being introduced to the fleet in order to ensure they will be able to meet their mission, the report states. The office also conducts surveys on ships at the end of their service lives when required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">INSURV scores ships based on the \u201cweighted average of the material condition of equipment in functional areas\u201d that are generally aligned along roughly 156 systems and about 551 sub-systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"629\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/INSURV-surface-final.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/INSURV-surface-final.jpg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/INSURV-surface-final.jpg.jpg?resize=300,157 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/INSURV-surface-final.jpg.jpg?resize=768,403 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/INSURV-surface-final.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,537 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A chart from the Navy&#8217;s annual Board of Inspection and Survey report shows the six-year trend for surface functional area scores and the total number of ships inspected each year.
