Moreover, the fleet composition is changing, to enable faster to actual or potential hot spots for deployment, including from Iran to North Korea and then China.

reported that San Diego is currently deployed with 62 surface ships and submarines, and is expected to increase to 85 in about 2014. In these 62 ships, including three “Nimitz” class aircraft carrier, 16 “Arleigh Burke” class destroyers, 7 “Los Angeles” class submarine, 7 “Ticonderoga” class cruisers and 12 “Wasp” class with “Tarawa” class amphibious ship. Currently, the U.S. Department of Defense is to be deployed in the Atlantic port of ships transferred to the West Coast, to enable faster to the actual or potential hot spots for deployment, including from Iran to North Korea and then China.

transferred to the new-ship, including “free” was the LCS, and “Independence” Littoral Combat Ships will soon join in. Navy combat ship designed to ensure that these can perform a variety of tasks in shallow waters, while maintaining high-speed running. In addition, the U.S. Navy CNO Admiral Gary Rawhide 17, also said that more than 50 other vessels to be built in the LCS, the majority of the fighting ship will also be deployed in San Diego.

Meanwhile, the Navy is spending billions of dollars to modernize its cruisers and destroyers, to extend their service time.

Currently, the U.S. is the strength of its offensive nuclear submarines to deploy large-scale adjustment. First, the submarine deployed to the Pacific shift the focus from the Atlantic, 60% of submarines deployed in the Pacific, Atlantic retained only 40% of the submarine. This is the deployment of U.S. submarines during the Cold War distribution of the opposite.
