The Pentagon will massively write off defective ships of the US Navy (Navy). This is reported by RIA Novosti .
The document has not yet been finalized, but an approximate list of" faulty " vessels is already known. By 2022, more than two dozen ships will be withdrawn from the fleet. Among them, in particular, are three littoral combat ships of the Freedom type: Fort Worth, Detroit and Little Rock. The Pentagon will also write off the LCS Coronado ships and the Ticonderoga-class cruisers.
The reasons for the write — off of ships are malfunctions that occurred at different times. So, the engines of the LCS Detroit ships could suddenly stall.
In early April , it was reported that the United States would write off the OC-135B aircraft used to monitor Russia under the Open Skies Treaty (DON). A member of the House of Representatives of the US Congress, Don Bacon, explained that the maintenance of these aircraft is too expensive, so after they get to the landfill, they will be used for spare parts and scrap metal.
