I sat down about 2 years ago with chico and Jason wiser and we spent a weekend on what ships would come back and why. I think Rae and Flamingo were on conferance calls at some time. I had alot of ships on the rolls ...this will be published under chico someday.
I drive by the NFR fleet here in hawaii once a week. I have talked to the Manager of the fleet. They say it will take about 3 months to come on line for most of the ships. Tuged over to ship yard. Manning is easy. About 30K to 40K sailors leave the US Navy a year. They have a 4 year contract as reserve, that gives me 120k to 160K men and women that could be back in uniform in a month. plus the old timers begging to get in. happens every war.
