Require the Coast Guard to submit a long-range shipbuilding plan
Printed page 156 5. Department of Homeland Security
“The Coast Guard should be required to submit to Congress a long-range shipbuilding plan modeled on the Navy's 30-Year Shipbuilding Plan.”
What has happened
- Not started
No long-range Coast Guard shipbuilding plan has been required or submitted. The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025 (Division G of Public Law 119-60) is the vehicle that would carry such a requirement and does not: its accountability title requires an annual report on homeporting projects, quarterly acquisition briefs, regular polar security cutter updates, an aircraft analysis of alternatives and a helicopter fleet mix analysis, but nothing modeled on the Navy's 30-year shipbuilding plan and no reference to shipbuilding planning at all. The service's existing obligation remains the annual Capital Investment Plan under 14 U.S.C. 5103, which predates the window.

Research notes
One negative search covered the Coast Guard asks on pages 151–158 of the Chapter, this one among them. The enrolled text of Division G was read and searched for “shipbuilding” (0 hits), “long-range” (0) and “20-year” (0).
The nearest executive action is EO 14269 section 19, which required a shipbuilding review within 45 days with “separate itemized and prioritized lists of recommendations for the United States Army, Navy, and Coast Guard”, folded into the Maritime Action Plan. A one-off review delivered to the President is not the recurring plan submitted to Congress that the Quote asks for, so it is noted rather than treated as an event.
