The 1974 Seapower Subcommittee hearings, in part, expressed
concern over the $1.3 billion in shipbuilding claims then outstanding
and concluded that the existing procedures allowed
unacceptable delay in claims settlement. These claims grew to
over $2.7 billion before they were settled in 19 78. In addition
to the nature of these claims, this thesis contains an investigation
of the three principal initiatives exercised within the
Department of Defense to settle these claims: the 1976 attempt
to use P.L. 85-804, the Navy Claims Settlement Board, and the
negotiated settlements in 19 78. Case studies are included for
the claims from General Dynamics Corp., Electric Boat Division,
and Litton Industries, Inc., Ingalls Shipbuilding Division.
Finally, this thesis concludes that changes in the nature of the
shipbuilding industry, contracting methods and procurement
policies altered the nature of claims. Further, negotiated
settlement, using claims entitlement as a basis, proved an
effective alternative to litigation in resolving shipbuilding
claims.
