Ship Warranties
Apparently, Congress is just as sick of brand new ships breaking down and having no warranty to show for a billion-plus dollar investment as the rest of us are. Congress has now inserted language in the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act requiring ship warranties. Here’s the language.
Chapter 633 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new section:
Sec. 7318.
Warranty requirements for shipbuilding contracts
(a) Requirement
A contracting officer for a contract for new construction for which funds are expended from the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy account shall require, as a condition of the contract, that the work performed under the contract is covered by a warranty for a period of at least one year.

Update:
Reader Eric's comment below has prompted me to add the following.
No amount of warranty can compensate for the failure of responsibility by the Navy in accepting incomplete ships. In fact, if the Navy (NAVSEA) were doing their job correctly and actually insisting that the ships be delivered in a complete and tested condition, a warranty wouldn't even be all that necessary!
