There are nearly 60 warships in San Diego, and researchers say if they aren't properly maintained, it will impact the Navy's overall readiness to act in time of crises.
SAN DIEGO — A new survey shows Navy ships aren't getting the maintenance they need because there aren't enough sailors, and that could lead to major consequences down the line. This report comes from the U.S. Government Accountability Office . There are nearly 60 warships in San Diego, and researchers say if they aren't properly maintained, it will impact the Navy 's overall readiness to act in time of crises.
'Those bigger problems cost money, and they keep bigger ships from being able to sail when they're needed for missions. So there have been problems with amphibious ships, for example, that sailed out of San Diego that are needed to perform missions, and had to turn around after something big breaks and they go right back into port,' says GAO spokesperson Diana Maurer.
