This year will see the USS Harry Truman docked in Virginia due to another round of budget battles between US President Obama and the Republican opposition.
The Telegraph has reported that the vessel, which is one of 10 nuclear aircraft carriers in the US military fleet, will not be patrolling the waters of the Persian Gulf in 2013 over $85-billion spending cuts.
The military had asked for two aircraft carriers to be deployed in the Persian Gulf, but the Pentagon has decided that for financial reasons it can only afford to send one there at a time.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel commented on this situation, saying that ?this uncertainty puts at risk our ability to effectively fulfill all of our missions. We will be forced to assume more risk, with steps that will progressively have far reaching affects.?
