Thanks. I know that at one time during the budget process, that was under consideration. My brother works for the Navy and sent me something on it.

Glad to know rationality prevailed and people won't be laid off in Newport News because of a hole in their refueling operation.

Decomming Lincoln would be a disaster. Personally I'd like to see them turn out two conventionals just for caution. If we get attacked we can get them back on line faster and they also a much faster training period for the crew. As I understand it the Navy did away with the BT {Boiler Tech} rating.
