As part of this modernization program, ships must remain in commission with a reduced crew size that matches modernization phasing and be placed in a sustainment condition where only essential maintenance, preservation, and limited hull, mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) modernization is accomplished while awaiting a depot level availability. The additional provisions in subparagraphs 4a through 4e apply to this program.

a. No more than two CGs per year are authorized to be inducted.

b. No CG is authorized to remain in a modernization status, from induction to completion of sea trials, for more than 4 years.

c. No more than six CGs are allowed to be in the modernization program at any time.

d. Billets authorized for each CG or LSD in modernization are to be maintained as listed in subparagraphs 4d(1) and 4d(2) and as depicted in figure 1 of enclosure (2) to support ongoing industrial work.

(1) For phase I of modernization, notional billets authorized is 45.

(2) For phase II of modernization, crewing levels in subparagraphs 4d(2)(a) through 4d(2)(d) apply.

(a) Phase 1 re-crewing: Notional billets authorized is: CG - 60; LSD - 55.

(b) Phase 2 re-crewing: Notional billets authorized is: CG -170; LSD - 160.

(c) Phase 3 re-crewing: Notional billets authorized is: CG - 275; LSD - 260.
