Shipboard habitability improvement program

Ships are inducted into the program ten years after commissioning. Project work scopes are sized based on the availability timeframe. After all spaces are upgraded, the cycle will be repeated until the ship is decommissioned. For additional information on project selection read the Project Selection and Scheduling Guidelines. For a complete long term project summary schedule, view the Long Range Plan. For a complete compartmental historical and planned project listing by ship, see Habitability Project Chronology by Ship.

Approximately 14 months before work is scheduled, the ship's Commanding Officer will be notified of the intended work, including compartment numbers. At that time, changes and modifications may be requested and will be considered, as long as the requests meet the selection criteria, and there is sufficient time, money and material available to accomplish the proposed work scope.
