This is our final report on the audit of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) ship fleet recapitalization effort. Our objective was to determine whether NOAA OMAO performed effective acquisition planning for its construction of new ships. Based on our review, we found that the initial acquisition planning for two Class A ships was not adequate.
