But six years in, critics say O-FRP has been hampered by shipyard maintenance delays and manning shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy has failed to meet maintenance or readiness targets called for under the O-FRP, and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.usni.org\/2020\/02\/26\/secdef-esper-blames-failures-of-optimized-fleet-response-plan-for-delay-of-new-355-ship-fleet-outlook\" target=_blank>Esper told<\/a> the House Armed Services Committee that a pending independent force structure assessment was built on the assumption that the O-FRP was working, and he believes it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2020\/02\/07\/the-us-navys-vaunted-deployment-plan-is-showing-cracks-everywhere\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/truman.jpg_bea704.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">The US Navy\u2019s vaunted deployment plan is showing cracks everywhere<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Despite lofty promises of stability, the Navy&#039;s fleet deployment plan is a shambles.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is how O-FRP is supposed to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It starts with a maintenance phase, where ships get fixed before they\u2019re scheduled to deploy. Then sailors enter a basic training phase, when they start qualifying for the key shipboard functions such as fighting a major fire, operating the combat system correctly and safely navigating the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crews graduate to an advanced and integrated phase when they learn high end tactics, uniting with others in a strike group to wage war as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s followed by a deployment before moving to a roughly 14-month period of elevated readiness called the \u201csustainment phase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gilday said ships in a surge readiness phase of the O-FRP have been called on \u201ca lot,\u201d and that O-FRP \u201chas also given a degree of stability for our sailors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After becoming the Navy\u2019s 32nd CNO in August, Gilday said he directed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.public.navy.mil\/usff\/Pages\/default.aspx\" target=_blank>U.S. Fleet Forces Command<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpf.navy.mil\/\" target=_blank>U.S. Pacific Fleet<\/a> to conduct assessments of O-FRP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s been five or six years since we put it into place and I had questions myself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esper has asked for a \u201cseparate independent assessment of O-FRP,\u201d which remains ongoing, Gilday said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Navy\u2019s been very much a part of working on that,\u201d CNO added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under O-FRP, a ship should be employable for roughly 22 of the 36-month construct, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we want to change how we deploy within that 22 months, we can take a look at that,\u201d Gilday said. \u201cWe can take a look at the cost of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt the end of the day, what we have to do is understand what the secretary of defense really wants with respect to either increased presence today or increased surge or a combination of both,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2019\/12\/09\/for-the-us-navy-its-all-hands-on-deck-to-fix-the-ford\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"146\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ford.jpg_2ff49c.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">For the US Navy, it\u2019s \u2018all hands on deck\u2019 to fix the Ford<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">As its shipbuilder works to fix lingering technology issues, Ford heads into its flight deck certification and testing period.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flanked at the Monday morning town hall by the commandants of the Coast Guard and Marine Corps, Gilday also announced that their services are working on a joint maritime strategy slated for a summer release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The annual conference is sponsored by AFCEA International and the U.S. Naval Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It gave CNO a platform to also defend the Navy\u2019s progress on fixing the aircraft carrier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/naval\/2019\/12\/09\/for-the-us-navy-its-all-hands-on-deck-to-fix-the-ford\/\" target=_blank>Gerald R.
