What changed
No FY25→26 comparison — endpoints unavailable or on different bases.
Who gets it
No single contractor is published as this line's leader. 2 linked award records are listed below. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. Why the crosswalk is partial.

Decade view

4 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2022–FY2025): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line falls across the span. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $0 for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $23.0M as actual total obligation authority — $23.0M above the request. 23.0 − 0.0 = 23.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Description — Towing, Salvage, and Rescue Ship (ATS)

The Navy requires ocean-going towing, salvage, and rescue capabilities to support Fleet operations. The Navy's current capabilities are provided by four Fleet Ocean Tugs (T-ATF) 166 Class Fleet tugs and four Rescue and Salvage Ships (T-ARS 50) Class salvage ships which will reach the end of their expected service lives beginning in 2020 and 2025, respectively. The Towing, Salvage and Rescue Ships (T-ATS 6 Navajo Class) will recapitalize the current Fleet tugs and salvage ships with a common hull that is capable of performing the missions of the retiring T-ATF and T-ARS classes.

The program's money traced left to right: the N appropriation, program element 5035 (Towing, Salvage, and Rescue Ship (ATS)), its 3 largest high-confidence awards, the 3 recipient families behind them, and the 2 congressional districts the work is recorded in. Read it for concentration — how few families and districts the awards run through. Amounts inside the diagram are illustrative per-award transaction sums; the table below carries the cited per-district obligations.

Contractor concentration

No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.

Lobbying mentions
