Thanks for the outstanding chart. But it makes sense, American Carriers have been in close to continuous operations for over a decade, they're starting to wear out as are the aircraft on board which are not exactly the newest planes in the world.
America is going into an operational down tempo period.
they laughed at Canada when we said we needed a year to repair our gear and rest our people after Afghanistan, but its going to be a bigger problem with the States.
While they're not fought out by any stretch, there are signs of systematic fatigue.
