Priya Sridhar: Navy Is ‘Scrambling’ to Relieve USS Lincoln Amid Pressure From Military Families

RUSH EXCERPT:

SRIDHAR: “Yeah, Catherine, this is a super fascinating development because many of the families at that town hall were asking the acting secretary of the navy, hong cao. Why can’t we send the uss George Washington to the Middle East? Because it would obviously get there much faster than the Roosevelt and hong cao basically told them, well, we can’t do that because we have to leave an aircraft carrier in the indo-Pacific area as a deterrent to some of the United States adversaries like China, North Korea and Russia. So they were just going to have to wait a little bit longer and wait for the Roosevelt."
