Budget figures
$10.8M discretionary + $5.40B one-time reconciliation. Discretionary change vs FY2025 enacted: -99.9%.
Two official figures, one label— reconciled below
Fiscal Receipts uses P-1/R-1 workbook total obligation authority (TOA) as the headline figure sitewide. The workbook TOA includes budget rows that the R-2/P-40 J-book program line excludes — advance procurement in an ordinary year, and in FY2026 the one-time reconciliation appropriation as well. Each row below names the one it is. How the two bases relate →
FY26 Request · $5.41B TOA − $10.8M J-book line = 5.40B (5,410.8 − 10.8 = 5,400.0) — $5.40B of one-time FY2026 reconciliation money accounts for this gap — not advance procurement
Figures in the sentence are rounded for reading; the parenthesised arithmetic is the same subtraction in USD millions, at the precision where it closes.

Description
Description — DDG-51
DDG 51 will be able to operate offensively and defensively, independently or as units of Carrier Strike Groups and Surface Action Groups, in support of Marine Amphibious Task Forces in multi-threat environments that include air, surface and subsurface threats. These ships will respond to Low Intensity Conflict/Coastal and Littoral Offshore Warfare (LIC/CALOW) scenarios as well as open ocean conflict providing or augmenting power projection and forward presence requirements, and escort operations at sea. Beginning in FY17, DDG 51 Flight III with the Air and Missile Defense Radar (SPY-6(V)1) will significantly enhance Integrated Air and Missile Defense capability against current and future threats. Starting in FY22, DDG 51 Flight III AN/SLQ-32 system is upgraded from AN/SLQ-32(V)6 to AN/SLQ-32(V)7, with the addition of SEWIP Block 3, which provides advanced Electronic Attack (EA) capability to keep pace with the evolving Anti-Ship Missile (ASM) threat and counter-targeting. Starting in FY23, the MK38 Gun Weapon System is being upgraded to the Mod 4 configuration and transitions from a post construction to an in-line installation, the WSN-7 inertial navigation system is being replaced with the follow-on WSN-12 navigation system, 15 additional berths are being introduced, and the Bridgemaster Surface Search Radar is being replaced by the Next-Generation Surface Search Radar (NGSSR). For the DDG 51 Program, the Department requests a total of $5,410,773 thousand and a total quantity of two. This request includes includes $10,773 thousand and quantity of 0 of discretionary funding and $5,410,000 thousand and quantity of 2 of mandatory funding for a total FY 2026 request of $5,410,773 thousand and quantity of 2. The mandatory and discretionary funds support the contract award for two FY 2026 ships. Further information for this reconciliation request will be provided in Section 20002 (Shipbuilding) of the Reconciliation Exhibit. Note: (1) The FY 2018-2022 acquisition strategy is a 10 ship Multi-year Procurement (MYP) with options. This budget request reflects savings for the ships in FY 2018-FY 2022 associated with EOQ procurement and a MYP strategy. Additional ships in FY 2019 and FY 2020 also reflect quantity savings over annual ship prices. (2) The Navy awarded two Multi-year Procurement (MYP) contracts for FY 2023 - FY 2027 for 9 ships with options. This budget request reflects savings for the ships in FY 2023-FY 2027 associated with EOQ procurement and a MYP strategy. The additional ships in FY 2023 and FY 2025 also reflect quantity savings over annual ship prices. (3) FY 2025 includes subsequent year full funding for the following: $923,808K for FY 2023 ships and $759,563K for FY 2024 ships.

Related awards
Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →
Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.

What it is
- DDG-51 is the U.S. Navy's Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer program, funded under the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy account.
- The Navy describes the DDG 51 as able to operate offensively and defensively, independently or as part of Carrier Strike Groups and Surface Action Groups, in multi-threat environments that include air, surface and subsurface threats.
- Beginning in FY2017, DDG 51 Flight III ships added the Air and Missile Defense Radar (SPY-6(V)1) to significantly enhance Integrated Air and Missile Defense capability against current and future threats.
- Starting in FY2023, the program is upgrading the MK38 Gun Weapon System to the Mod 4 configuration, replacing the WSN-7 inertial navigation system with the follow-on WSN-12, adding 15 additional berths, and replacing the Bridgemaster Surface Search Radar with the Next-Generation Surface Search Radar.
- For FY2026 the Department requests a total of $5,410,773 thousand (about $5.4 billion) and a total quantity of two ships.
- That FY2026 request combines $10,773 thousand of discretionary funding (quantity of 0) with $5,400,000 thousand of mandatory funding (quantity of 2), supporting the contract award for two FY2026 ships.
Why it matters
- DDG-51 is a large shipbuilding line: FY2024 actual funding totaled $6,366,431 thousand (about $6.4 billion).
- For FY2025, Congress enacted $8,268,628 thousand (about $8.3 billion) for the program.
- The FY2026 total request drops to $5,410,773 thousand (about $5.4 billion), lower than the prior year's enacted level.
- Most of the FY2026 request comes as a reconciliation (mandatory) request of $5,400,000 thousand rather than through the regular discretionary budget.
- Only $10,773 thousand of the FY2026 request is discretionary funding.
- The Navy awarded two Multi-year Procurement contracts covering FY2023-FY2027 for 9 ships with options, with the budget reflecting savings from economic order quantity procurement and the multi-year strategy.
- DDG-51 FY2024 actuals came in about $1.9 billion above the original PB2024 request, rising from a $4,483,214 thousand request to $6,366,431 thousand in actuals — a roughly 42% increase.
Key players
- The program is run by the Department of the Navy (organization code N).
