Sequester results: No More Appearances by Blue Anges
Yes, it appears that sequester is unavoidable. According to the Department of the Navy press release we won’t be marveling at the flight of Blue Angels above our heads. If you are one of those who seen them fly, consider yourself lucky. It won’t be happening for a while.
Among other things, he release says the Navy plans to shut down Carrier Air Wing Two in April. The air wing is based California, but one of the squadrons VFA-34 is based at Oceana.
The Navy also intends to cancel four appearances by the Blue Angels. The Navy will cancel or defer the deployment of up to six ships throughout the month April.
The Navy will also defer USNS Comfort’s humanitarian deployment to Central and South America. The USNS Comfort just came into Naval Station Norfolk on Friday.
The Navy press release states these actions are being taken to “preserve support for those forces stationed overseas and currently forward-deployed. “We made these choices careful while trying to preserve the ability to reverse or quickly restore negative effects if and when funding is restored.”
