On CNN I just saw where an agreement has been reached between the US
an Japan that will allow basing of a Nuke carrier there.

As we are running out of conventional powered carriers, this means
we
will still be able to have a carrier based there in the future. I
wonder how long before they will allow subs, and other nuke powered
ships to be based there as well?

There are no "other nuke-powered ships" in the USN, just the carriers
and
submarines.

Well, it's not my fault that the Long Beach, Truxtun, and Bainbridge
were
decommissioned. You will have to blame someone else!

All California Class cruisers (both of them) were nukes as well.

You can't blame that on me either! And I didn't approve of getting rid of
the Virginia class at all.
