Navy chief says no shift from Middle East to Asia Pacific
Adm Jonathan Greenert, chief of naval operations, says the United States will not pull ships from the Middle East as it boosts forces in the Asia Pacific. He notes most of the 100 deployed U.S. ships operate in the West Pacific and Persian Gulf while tensions rise over Iran. A center report cautions budget cuts may weaken the Navy’s ability to safeguard interests, especially in the South China Sea.
