Gallagher: 'I'm not sure it makes sense' to retire Nimitz-class carrier early

摘要

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), a member of the House Armed Services seapower and projection forces subcommittee, said last week he doesn't think "it makes sense" to retire the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier Truman early. Speaking alongside Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) at the American Enterprise Institute, Gallagher said "it depends" on how the Navy would use the savings gleaned from retiring the warship. "It doesn't make much strategic sense to me from what I've read right now, but I've only read a sum total of one article," Gallagher told the crowd.
