USS Carl Vinson, CVN-70 Moving to San Diego

[The Chief]

Understand the QDR calls for 6 of the 11 carriers be homeported on the West Coast. From what I hear, the Navy has announced the movement of the Carl Vinson back to San Diego, subject to completion of an environmental impact statement. Anticipated execution date 2010.

What is the best estimated impact on base loading at NAS Lemoore? I ask this with a selfish motive; e.g., real estate impacts in the Garden of Eden, Kalifornia.

I am sure that the People Republic of Coronado Traffic Nazis will love that decision...

Cant' imagine it'll have any effect on Lemoore. The Hornets that are there are already there so I'd expect it has a zero effect on the airwing.

Carrier Battle Group going to San Dog??? Instead of Guam, Washington State, or the Territory ... ??!!??

The Mokes are jumping off the Pali and the "other" corrupt bureaucrats in WA are jumping off Snoqualamie Falls as we speak ....

Vinson is undergoing Refuelling Complex Overhaul (RCOH) at Newport News to extend the life of her reactors. RCOH takes a carrier out of the hunt for many moons. The carrier air wing bed down posture remains constant as there are more carriers than air wings since there are always one to two of them off-line. Vinson will pick up an air wing after returning to San Diego and another carrier will give up her air wing in turn as it goes off-line.

Man, I wish somebody could "extend the life of" my 'reactors'.

And like the Vinson, I've been "out of the hunt for many moons," too.
(But of course I would quickly be torpedoed and sunk by USS Wife if I did jump back in the hunt. )

Looking at the bright side, though…… I no longer have to battle the Coronado Bay Bridge diurnal stagnation with multiple carriers in port…… and my name's not 'Skeeter'.

Understand, SD may not be a done deal. Heard some nasty rumors which bear not repeating, at least here. Guess I read too much into the tea leaves, but with the looming train wreck that is Oceana. Brac seems to be out of the photograph. OLF to coastal NC?:icon_smil

Have you ever seen the signs the residents put up along the way to North Island?
