So what changed? I can’t believe they would be told to pull out unless there was a good reason.
CENTCOM mentioned 30,000 flight hours and 55,000 miles.
The extension was for a month, the month is nearly over...
This is a rather old ship, so I suspect the Navy doesn’t want the port maintenance schedule to slip by too much.
