Building on prior RAND research, this monograph explores the need for and retention of technical skills in the UK1s maritime industry, particularly among designers and engineers involved with surface ship and submarine acquisition and support. The results reveal that the UK1s future naval programme likely will have to be modified or augmented to sustain these technical skills in the long term.
