...The findings of the Alternative Carrier Study will be passed on to the three groups conducting the Fleet Architecture studies — an OPNAV group under N81, the Mitre Group and the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA). The Fleet Architecture work, said Bryan Clark, a naval analyst leading the CSBA team, “is supposed to look at alternative views of what the Navy will need in the future. Mix and match carriers, frigates, destroyers in different ways. We’ll come up with a different view of the demand signal, the steady state and wartime surge requirements. It’ll be based on a different approach to war-fighting requirements.”
