US Navy vokser mindre end planlagt

Præsident Donald Trump’s udvidelse af den amerikanske flåde bliver ikke så omfattende som planlagt. Flådebudgettet stiger med 10 milliarder dollar i 2020, men der sættes færre penge af til levetidsforlængelse af ældre krigsskibe der derfor udfases.

Det er bl.a. krydserne af Ticonderoga klassen der ikke bliver levetidsforlænget, og hangarskibet USS Truman udgår af flådens tal 20 år tidligere end forventet.

I stedet er der afsat 35 milliarder dollar til bygning af nye krigsskibe - det største beløb i mere end to årtier.

Pengene går blandt andet til:

• Bidrag til en ny missil-ubåd af Columbia-klassen (2,2 milliarder dollar) • Ford-class hangarskib programmet (2,6 milliarder dollar) • Tre Virginia-class attack submarines (10,2 milliarder dollar) • Tre Arleigh Burke-class destroyers (5,8 milliarder dollar) • Første FFG (x) fregat (1,3 milliarder dollar) • To tankskibe (1,1 milliarder dollar) • To bjærgningsfartøjer (200 millioner dollar) • To store ubemandede overfladeskibe på hver 2.000 tons (450 millioner dollar)

Med udgangspunkt i de påtænkte nyanskaffelser og udfasning af ældre skibe, vil US Navy råde over 314 skibe om fem år - en snes færre end oprindelig foreslået.
