The Smart Ship Repair Act of 2025 is a straightforward technical change to Navy shipbuilding rules. The bill amends federal law to extend the definition of "short-term work" for Navy ship repairs from 12 months to 18 months, giving the Navy more flexibility in how it manages construction and repair projects for combat and escort vessels. This change affects Navy shipyards and contractors who work on these vessels, potentially allowing for longer project assignments before different contracting rules apply. The bill was introduced in April 2025 and referred to the House Armed Services Committee. No specific funding or implementation timeline is outlined in the legislation itself.
