Nope. This all happened on Clinton's watch.

However, the Forrestal and Kitty Hawk-class carriers are tremendously expensive relative to nuclear-powered carriers--fuel oil O&M costs are about 3-4 times as much as the same costs for new nuclear cores across the lifespan of the ship. O&M cost reductions were the biggest reason the Navy decommissioned these ships.

Re-Build the FMF

Clinton shrunk our abilities to respond in a timely and effective manner anywhere, anytime... He wasn;t a pacifist,he IS a communist.. He IS the ultimate sleeper agent in a Trojan Horse.. For 8 years, he worked from within to cripple that which we rely on to defend our freedoms. He over-committed troops worldwide and never really cared if it left us vulnerable as that was his goal.
