(C) identify advanced technologies that are in various phases of research and development, as well as those that are commercially available off-the-shelf, that are candidates to be incorporated into the plan to design, develop, and procure the submarines;

(D) designate the fifth submarine to be procured as the lead ship in the next generation submarine class, unless the Secretary of the Navy, in consultation with the special submarine review panel described in subsection (f), determines that more submarines should be built before the design of the new class of submarines is fixed, in which case each such additional submarine shall be procured in the same manner as is required by subsection (b)(1); and

(E) identify the impact of the submarine program described in paragraph (1) on the remainder of the appropriation account known as "Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy", as such impact relates to

(i) force structure levels required by the October 1993 Department of Defense report entitled "Report on the Bottom-Up Review";

(ii) force structure levels required by the 1995 report on the Surface Ship Combatant Study that was carried out for the Department of Defense; and
