But why not simply do the routine maintenance state side where security is not an issue?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?

If you make sure there are enough warships available it won't matter. That's why cut-backs in warship numbers is stupidity. It shouldn't be a problem. If the ship needs routine yard work, another ship should be able to show up in it's place first. The UAE yards should only be used for emergency work.

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.
