Program Summary
As one of the Defense Department's largest acquisition organizations, Program Executive Office Ships (PEO Ships) manages the design and construction of all destroyers, amphibious ships and craft, auxiliary ships, special mission ships, sealift ships and support ships. These platforms enable our nation and its allies to project presence in peace, power in wartime, and assured access at all times.
