(D) Since the end of the cold war, aircraft 
carrier deployments have increased while the 
aircraft carrier force structure has declined. 
(E) Due to the increased array of complex 
threats across the globe, the Navy’s aircraft

maintenance periods in order to meet oper-

(F) To meet global peacetime and wartime 
requirements, the Navy has indicated a require-

overseas and to have three additional aircraft 
carriers capable of deploying within 90 days. 
However, the Navy has indicated that the exist-

(G) Despite the requirement to maintain 
an aircraft carrier strike group in both the
