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?

We have secure yards in the MED with trusted allies. In all likely hood the ship in the yards has lost at least 30 days anyway to cut and reseal the decks depending on what had to be accessed. You just don't open a hatch and take out major equipment.

Have you been paying attention to the demographics of those "trusted allies?"

Also, you're assuming that the ship will be allowed to transit Suez (which, incidentally, is a huge risk in and of itself.)

"So what if we make it 60 days?"
