United Kingdom's Nuclear Submarine Industrial Base Ministry of Defense Roles

"In light of history and the recent experience drawn from the Astute programme, the authors of this book suggest appropriate roles for the MOD in its partnership with the prime contractor for each phase of future submarine acquisition. Based on management best practices, they propose a middle-ground alternative approach - a 'partnership' model - between the hands-on and hands-off acquisition models used in the past. They propose changes to the evolving MOD acquisition structure, new staffing levels, and ways to address some potential impediments, such as the loss of submarine expertise within the MOD."--BOOK JACKET.Schank, John F. is the author of 'United Kingdom's Nuclear Submarine Industrial Base Ministry of Defense Roles', published 2005 under ISBN 9780833038456 and ISBN 0833038451.
