OK, sure! Let's send a ship back to Norfolk or Newport News! How many days off of the deployment cycle is THAT going to cost?

Didn't you know? All the Captain of the ship has to do nowadays is twitch his nose and voila from the Persian Gulf to Newport News in a second.

Oh thank you for opening up that subject. What about Ships Captains who are made Scapegoats for Pentagon and DOD failures? The Captains of the KENNEDY & KITTY HAWK come to mind. BTW Newport News usually builds except for such events as extended downtime's like refueling {up to 5 years}. Norfolk Naval Ship Yards usually services on the East Coast for the deep draft ships.

We are in this mess thanks to Poppy/Cheney, Clinton, and both parties sitting in congress during their terms who are still downsizing our military on all fronts. Name me one thing the GOP congress or Bush has done to increase the number of active duty commissioned UNITED STATES NAVY SHIPS. Show me where after 9/11 they incresed the active duty troop levels to deal with Iraq and No calling up the National Guards doesn't count.
