Funding Lock (Current Program Baseline)
- GOGO: 4 yards at $1B each; allocation lock is 10% cleanup, 10% training/housing, 25% mission modernization, and 50% one large TriSeadon lane + 1 drydock + 3 pier spots + labs/shops.
- GOCO: 3 major yards at $5B each; each yard builds 1 large CAG lane + 2 medium DDG/FFG lanes, plus labs/shops, with 10% cleanup and 10% training/housing.
- GOCO recovery: federal capital is recovered over 20 years from contractor lease/rent streams.
- COCO: 5-10 yards, each eligible for $500M loan at 3% program rate with Year-1 no-payment window; mandatory minimums are 10% cleanup, 10% training/housing, and 35% lane buildout, for $2.5B-$5.0B total federal loan authority across the COCO tier.
- State module campuses: default planning case is a flexible campus, usually two 100-acre yards sharing infrastructure, with core funding of up to $150M state + up to $150M federal per campus and added support from hazmat, learning, union, VA, and related programs.
- Baseline distributed-yard capital picture: GOCO ($15B) + GOGO ($4B) + COCO federal authority ($2.5B-$5.0B) + 50-state module-campus core capital can scale above the older $31.5B-$34.0B picture depending on how many states activate at the two-yard standard and how much outside assistance is captured.
- Rights and configuration control: new TriSeadon development is competed under government foreground-IP ownership or equivalent controlling-rights terms; privately funded legacy background IP is protected, and all accepted yards and contractors build to one government-controlled configuration baseline.
- Multimodal access requirement: yard activation must include rail and highway access, plus river/ocean and airport access where practical.
GOGO yards: government-owned, government-operated baseline lanes
Legacy Navy yards remain sovereign government yards, then are rebuilt or reopened for TriSeadon lanes while preserving their strategic maintenance roles.
What the GOGO yards will do
- Adds large TriSeadon build lanes and large refit capacity.
- Preserves legacy nuclear/CVN/SSN sustainment competencies while reopening decommissioned or underused capacity for TriSeadon production/refit without interrupting current submarine, carrier, overhaul, or decommissioning work.
- New TriSeadon lanes, shops, training, and housing are placed in underused or recoverable yard areas while the funding stream also supports yard-wide hazmat cleanup, reclamation, and legacy mission modernization.
- Supports training pipelines and environmental reclamation.
- Provides lowest-cost baseline comparison against GOCO/private operators.
Documented GOGO yard locations
GOCO yards: government-owned, contractor-operated growth lanes
TriSeadon three new GOCO shipyards are federally owned with contractor operation under scored performance and lease governance.
Documented GOCO structure
- 3 major GOCO flagships for national heavy-capacity expansion.
- Mandatory per major GOCO yard: 1 CAG build drydock and 2 medium build drydocks (medium docks are dual-qualified for FFG or DDG).
- Each major GOCO includes large build/refit capability and supporting medium-lane throughput.
- Per-yard funding lock: 10% environmental cleanup and 10% training/housing inside each $5B package.
- Performance scoring model: on-time/under-budget gains future allocation.
COCO/private yards: loan-assisted competitive throughput
Current baseline frames this tier as private yard expansion with federal loans, competitive allocation, and optional refit-only participation above the core government-yard build schedule.
What this tier does in the docs
- Adds distributed DDG/FFG build and refit margin outside legacy and GOCO hubs rather than carrying the whole production plan alone.
- Baseline role: preserve competitive private-yard participation, provide surge capacity, and absorb delay recovery when the core yard network is under pressure.
- Floating-opening rule: at least one active medium production opening can be assigned to COCO and moved between private yards as needed, but the program does not depend on COCO alone to make baseline schedule.
- Uses fixed low-interest financing (3% program rate) with a Year-1 no-payment startup window.
- Loan allocation lock: minimum 10% cleanup, 10% training/housing, and 35% for one TriSeadon-capable lane buildout.
- Refit-only option: selected private yards can take a single medium refit lane under a reduced funding package rather than a full build-yard expansion package.
- Creates competition pressure and surge capacity across regions.
Examples listed in source drafts
Demand-reconciled lane totals: the build plan is set at 38 medium build lanes for FFG/DDG work and 10 large build lanes for CAG-capable work. Refit posture is set at 8 medium refit lanes and 3 large refit lanes. That still exceeds the current schedule requirement, which peaks at only 3 FFG refit lanes, 3 DDG refit lanes, and 2 CAG refit lanes. Build lanes are treated as the more flexible wartime asset because they can absorb refit work when needed; dedicated refit lanes preserve modernization flow during normal operations.
Physical interpretation: the yard math assumes 1 build drydock + 2 build piers = 3 active build lanes. That means the 48-lane build posture (38 medium plus 10 large) implies about 16 build drydocks and 32 build piers across the full network. Refit lanes are a separate protected layer for steady modernization, but the build network is intentionally sized so it can absorb extra refit demand in war, delay recovery, or heavy upgrade periods.

DLA + Civilian Procurement Counterpart
Dual-track procurement, inventory buffering, and cost control
Program update: DLA remains the government procurement backbone for strategic buying and reserve control, while a civilian procurement counterpart is established to introduce market competition, control pricing pressure, and prevent vendor lock.
- DLA function: strategic materials, reserve shipsets, continuity-of-supply enforcement, and delivery control for long-lead government-furnished equipment.
- DLA scope: steel, sensors, launch hardware, turbines, generators, boats, vehicles, fuel-system hardware, module interfaces, and other common shipset items are all managed against one program demand signal.
- Controlled weapons content such as warheads, seekers, and guidance packages remains on cleared lines, but DLA still manages demand timing, allocation, and delivery sequencing into the fleet build and refit plan.
- Civilian counterpart function: open-bid competition, commercial benchmarking, and cost-down pressure across approved vendors.
- Combined model intent: keep wartime resilience and schedule certainty while preserving capitalist competition on price and performance.
Regional depot model and brownfield siting
DLA depot corridors already cover East, Gulf, West, and Midwest pathways through the current official distribution footprint. TriSeadon baseline does not require new stand-alone DLA yard construction.

Golden rule in source text
When inventory and build schedules conflict, build tempo wins so no yard sits idle.
Environmental Cleanup Policy
Environmental rules are consolidated in a dedicated policy page covering Day-1 cleanup, brownfield-first siting, compliance gates, and ownership transition logic.
Workforce
Cross-yard training and national certification portability
Repeated across your docs: shared training centers, transferable credentials, and worker mobility between yard types.
Veteran transition and local education partners
Your workforce sections consistently include veteran pipelines and community college/accredited program integration.
50-state participation through module and support networks
Verified against your docs and guidance: all 50 states participate through functionally assigned roles (ISO/module manufacturing, logistics, testing, training, sustainment, and component production), not a one-full-shipyard-per-state model.
- State-level yards are primarily module/ISO/component facilities.
- Coastal heavy yards focus on hull build/refit while inland states contribute standardized systems and subassemblies.
- This preserves credibility and efficiency while still delivering true nationwide industrial participation.
