Может и так, но что тогда с матготовностью этого нового корабля?
>Отказ от оверхаула позволил направить сэкономленные средства на заказ двух новых "Фордов".
>“The decision to skip the Truman’s RCOH [Refueling & Complex Overhaul] was part of the deal to fund two new carriers,” said former deputy defense secretary Robert Work.
Ну вот мы и получим списание кораблика в 2025-26, и так мне совсем тогда непонятно, отчего именно его? Просто следующий по плану RCOH решили не спасать? Оченно необычно для пиндосов... Наверное и правда бабла нет. Точнее, на ЭТО - бабла нет...
Ну не верю я вот в это: “USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) has experienced an electrical malfunction within the ship’s electrical distribution system requiring analysis and repair. The ship is working closely with technicians from Norfolk Naval Shipyard to determine the cause and scope of the issue. The safety of the ship’s crew and reactor plants are not affected,” U.S. Fleet Forces Command spokesman Capt. Scott Miller told USNI News Friday night. - сказанное 30 августа 2019, т.к. корабль в ноябре прошлого года таки ушел на боевую. Или не до конца исправили?
Флот ранее планировал законсервировать George Washington, конгресс не позволил

The military had proposed mothballing the USS George Washington, reducing the U.S. carrier fleet to 10, to deal with across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration, imposed by Congress. That irked a bipartisan group of lawmakers, who called on Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in a letter last week to preserve what they see as a potent symbol of American power.
But it soon became clear that any proposal endorsed by the White House to retire an aircraft carrier likely would have been blocked by Congress, opening Democrats to election-year criticism, officials familiar with the discussions told the paper.
White House officials headed off the issue by telling defense officials in recent days that they would provide extra money — in effect raising the military’s proposed budget — to allow the Navy to extend the life of the George Washington, which was commissioned July 4, 1992.
Это в 2014. Тремя годами ранее, в 2011, именно сенатор Том Корбан (OK-R)
