Navy Slashes Training Aircraft Procurement By 20 Planes, Shifts Funds

摘要

Several months after an internal audit warned the Navy planned to waste hundreds of millions of dollars on un-needed training planes, the service has decided buy 20 fewer aircraft, according to documents obtained by Inside the Pentagon.rnThe cut - which shifts $145 million to other naval priorities - has not been publicly announced, but is described in a memo the Navy's air warfare chief, Rear Adm. Kenneth Floyd, sent to the Naval Audit Service shortly before Christmas.
