Background
In 2002, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) promulgated Seapower 21. It provides a framework to align,
organize and integrate the U.S. Navy to meet the wide variety of challenges that lie ahead. The CNO called
upon the entire Navy, including Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and the Warfare Centers (WCs), to find ways
to become more efficient and effective. To meet Seapower 21 objectives and to increase efficiency, the Naval Surface
Warfare Center (NSWC) and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) have aligned to provide seamless integrated support
for twelve core Product Area Directorates that nationally are very small planning and oversight offices. The day-to-day
project management, planning, staffing and project execution will be provided by the geographically diverse NSWC and NUWC Divisions.
