Navy carrier force drops to 10 in 2014, but surge ability unchanged

Article Abstract:

US Navy's 30-year shipbuilding plan shows 11 aircraft carriers in 2014, the Navy might actually have only 10 carriers for few years in the middle of the next decade. The decrease is because the Navy would schedule maintenance work on flattops to minimizing the number of carriers that are in shipyards and unavailable for duty.
