Clinton narrows Gulf carrier presence to one ship
President Clinton said the USS Eisenhower would sail on schedule and left options open for trimming the Gulf carrier fleet. If schedules hold, only the USS Stennis will be in the Persian Gulf for several weeks next month, after the Eisenhower departs May 13. The USS Independence is set to leave in late May, potentially leaving the Stennis as the sole warship monitoring Iraq.
