In 1951, as a result of lessons learned from World War II, the Navy Ship Scheduling Activity was established to support the Bureau of Ships in the acquisition process. The organization was to serve as the central activity to:

• Prioritize Shipbuilding Material Requirements
• Increase the Efficiency of the Shipbuilding Industry

Through the years, the organization has changed names and sponsors, continually adapting to new Navy initiatives. Although the organization still provides shipbuilding support to a variety of ship programs, the current staff of the NAVSEA Shipbuilding Support Office (NAVSHIPSO) has undertaken the additional challenges of supporting fleet maintenance, repair and modernization programs.
