Navy pushing for second carrier in Pacific, maybe Hawaii
Stars and
Stripes
report:The
Navy wants to base a second carrier in the Western Pacific — either in
Guam or Hawaii — but debate remains on when, or even if, that will happen,
said one of the Navy’s top leaders at the Pentagon.
“The
discussion has been about Hawaii and Guam, but it has centered principally on
Hawaii,” Vice Adm. Joseph Sestak, the deputy chief of naval operations for
warfare requirements and programs, told reporters Tuesday.
