US Navy Fleet Maintenance Crisis The US Naval Operations Commander has warned of the US Navy's maintenance crisis. Defense Breaking News Base reported: Admiral Daryl Caudle said the Navy is facing a maintenance backlog crisis, and it's a multi-year recovery there's no getting around. Referring to the long-term deployment of US warships in West Asia, this senior US military officer emphasized that the vessels had passed the record for the longest deployment of a destroyer since World War II. Admiral James Kilby, vice president of US naval operations, also warned that the industrial base cannot respond to this amount of repairs in a short period of time and will have to delay repairs or minimize the repair package and sacrifice overhaul. The US Court of Accounts also expressed concern about the condition of the submarines.
