US Navy delays start of the refueling/complex overhaul of the USS Lincoln CVN-72 due to budget.

This paints a very bad picture. These things take years to complete and will impact the other active carriers as well. Especially the next one in line to be refueled (CVN-73).

They don't want her out of commission when TSHTF. They can get another year out of her easily.

True, I doubt the reactors are Xenon precluded yet but probably close. Another thing that crossed my mind was they are gonna make a big deal out of this to spur CONgress to throw more money down the rat hole otherwise readiness of the navy will sufffffer.

At any rate the mere fact that this is an issue speaks volumes about the decay of this empire

I also read that both the Army and Marines are cutting troop levels. The Marines by 4000 per year for the next 5 years.

Oh noes, we can't let the war machine slow down!
===============
We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds... [we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers... And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for [another ]... till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery... And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression. - Thomas Jefferson


AND NOW WE ARE BEING BOMBARDED WITH MESSAGES THAT OSAMA BIN LADIN IS PLANNING TO ATTACK THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND I'M TELLING YOU, BE PREPARED FOR A MAJOR ATTACK. BUT IT WON'T BE OSAMA BIN LADEN, IT WILL BE THOSE BEHIND THE NWO. IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THEY WILL STAGE A TERRORIST ATTACK AND IT IS GOING TO BE BID ENOUGH THAT MARTIAL LAW COULD BE DECLARED. - BILL COOPER 06/28/2001 (3 MONTHS BEFORE 9/11)

Well the Federal Government spends close to 3 Trillion Dollars per year, and they haven't cut spending at all yet, but they don't have the money to gas up the Carriers...

Maybe we should be asking where all that fuckin' money is going?!?!?

Exactly! These things are not exactly spur of the moment evolutions. The new fuel modules for the reactors are probably already fabricated or in production now. There are only a handful of drydocks that are CVN capable. Newport News is the only place carriers get refueled. I find it hard to believe that there is no money to refit the Lincoln. It is either a PR stunt or something very bad is afoot.

A little rumor I once heard was that the Enterprise once had an "issue". In order to fix the "issue". The cruisers Virginia and Texas were scrapped in order to divert the money being used to refuel them in a quiet manner(they were both in the process of being refueled when they were suddenly halted, inactivated, then decommisioned).
