Carriers Super Class Nimitz
Automatic federal budget cuts slated to begin March 1 will prevent the USS Truman aircraft carrier battle group from sailing to the Persian Gulf, senior military officials have told USA TODAY. The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, say Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has formally approved a plan to keep just one carrier in the region. There have been two aircraft carrier groups there for most of the last two years. The spending cut process known as sequestration would force the Pentagon to cut $500 billion from its budget over the next 10 years. Ref. USAToday
