Navy plans outlined long cruise mobility test
The Navy Department rejects permanent Pacific basing and favors a single well equipped fleet. It proposes a two ocean capability built around current ships, with transferability between Atlantic and Pacific theaters as needed. Commissioned vessels face lengthy completion timelines and questions remain about retaining ships in the Pacific. The Panama Canal is viewed as a solution to future naval balance between oceans.
