News here of the return of USS JASON DUNHAM (DDG 109)
from its nine-month maiden voyage. Nine months. This is happening more
and more frequently, and average deployment lengths continue to creep
up.
We either need a bigger fleet or fewer things to do. Perhaps both. But not neither.
Sadly...not happening anytime soon.
