US Second Fleet ceased to exist

2nd disbanding ceremony fleet The United States was held on September 30 at the Norfolk Naval Base, according to NavyTimes.

The dismantling of the fleet as a measure of monetary savings announced 6 January 2011, due to the difficult financial situation in the defense ministry.

Over the years, the newly created directorates divided many of the areas of responsibility of the US 2 fleet. His remaining tasks — training personnel on the East Coast for distribution to various regions of the world, ensuring security in the western Atlantic Ocean, and command of emergency forces in the western Atlantic and the Caribbean — will be transferred to the US Navy Command.

According to the Fleet Command, 205 positions, including 60 officers and 145 privates, will be eliminated upon disbandment. The relevant staff is almost completely transferred to other headquarters positions in the order of regular rotation or is distributed among the naval formations in Hampton Roads.

History The 2 fleet dates back to the reorganization of the US Navy after World War II. The name "Second Fleet" is assigned to the operational-strategic alliance, formed from the US 8 fleet, in February 1950. In recent years, the fleet formally consisted only of headquarters, in fact, it managed dozens of ships and vessels, which were transferred to the operational structure from the subordination of the Fleet Command to the period of operations.

2 fleet is commanded by Vice Admiral Daniel Holloway.

The combined command of the armed forces, located in Norfolk, 4 August also formally ceased to exist.

And other, other, other .....

[Motherland]

Yes, the news is great, today on the news I saw a meeting there near the "white" house

[kosmos84]

and because of what the rally

[Motherland]

Something with the economy, they have unemployment there and, in general, a lot of things people are organizing rallies in big cities, they are unlikely to show the rest of the world what is really

[Ivan35]

With all my heart I wish the pendos publicity of perestroika and democratization
And the subsequent collapse. And the closure of factories and kindergartens, hospitals and schools
And so that girls en masse into prostitutes and the "southern drug lords" feel themselves as owners in New York and all major cities - and drive "whites"
And gangster chaos and poverty and all that we survived
Stop being a police state - let the "wind of freedom" blow!

[Motherland]

Yes, in reality, they have less "democracy" than we have, freedom of speech, etc., are all lies, there is no receipt, document, extract, etc., all tough problems and do not give a shit whether your rights will be preserved or not, just some suspicion. consider they can be taken to a closed prison and tortured in the most inhuman ways

[UAZ Patriot]

and yet Obama is our president!

[Marat]

Great idea! Disbanding the fleet like the first swallow! I join the wishes! They are already completely a police state. They just need restructuring, glasnost and democratization - with all the "attachments"

[KASKAD]

Yes it is written that only the headquarters dispersed nothing special, they didn’t write off a single ship.

[SIA]

Iron without a man. just iron. It will not fire itself. Headquarters dispersed, no control. Still, the 6th Fleet would go to the bottom en masse, well, in general there would be a holiday!

[kosmos84]

And those whom the sleepers were driven to our northern railroad to change under the agreement, otherwise the plan for the sleepers in our inverter has not been fulfilled, and the snow will soon fall

[cyberspace]

Maybe it's better to lay the Vorkuta-Norilsk-Anadyr railway line?

[kosmos84]

From Vorkuta to the Labytnangs, there is a road, and then the projects to the Anadyr were told to me by the railway technicians, instead of the sowing-pest roads, and so the Pindos went there

[cyberspace]

Before Norilsk they were planning to finance Russian Railways, Gazprom and Norilsk Nickel, but the crisis broke off.

[kosmos84]

in the middle of the tundra the pieces were built (in places) I have a deep project in tehane _ the project of the railway section and the branch from (Art. Kharp or Art. Obskaya to Bovanenkovo ​​was built at the expense of GP

[подводник]

Well, you shouldn't arrange "dancing on the main square" because of this. I completely agree with KASKAD

[figwam]

GIVE REorganization in the USA !!!

[zczczc]

And always with publicity and irreversible transformations!

I propose to send them a bald one with the song "One way ticket" ("One way ticket")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qIOCuBwcTc

It is necessary to corner and expand the transformation.

[UAZ Patriot]

SUPPORT!

[Motherland]

"the fish rots from the head"

[Motherland]

I want to burn in the US flag at the white house

[cyberspace]

Preferably with this yellow house.

[spirit]

dust in the eyes of taxpayers !!! they say we are cutting costs, BETWEEN! And stupidly drove the ships to another feast. If Fool Obama disperses the 6th fleet, he will be shot right in the office of the white house.

[Motherland]

Of course he didn’t rule there, he kind of refused to run in the next election

[kosmos84]

Dear friend, look at the Spirit of time. 2 it says everything

[Motherland]

I've already seen enough and read so much, I don’t know what to believe, now it’s unrealistic to find out the truth.

[fellow misha]

Sometimes good news comes from overseas too. Rebuilt itself - help another rebuild!

[UAZ Patriot]

Interestingly, and kudo bear-convertible in this case will explode? :) It looks like he is a curse for any country! I suggest sending it to Japan!

[kosmos84]

LET THE JAPANES BROKE THAT THAT THE KURILS WON'T DARK

[Kenny2301]

Why is there no such good news every day? what kind of irony? The best news is, "Today the YUESEI army was disbanded because there are no funds at all and will not be available at all"

[kosmos84]

Today I hope the 2 chorus news will be-out in CHE2012 EVERYTHING MORE FOR OURS - RUSSIA FORWARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kosmos84]

VICTIMS TO THIS MOODOK WHICH * MINUS DELIVERED * AND TO THE GLORY OF TEAM RUSSIA AND ALL WHO SUPPORTED THE TEAM-HURRY! HURRY! URAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nickname bj]

Here are those times ... And in my youth I studied karate-do according to the instructions of Bruce Tegner, Colonel of the US Navy Second ... It's sad ...

[svvaulsh]

Well, now all the "kata" will go smarky

[Sorry]

And what happened? 60 officers and 145 privates were cut - this is a tragedy for such an economy. Our fleet was generally subordinate to the landlords. And what a picture, lupot! This is an armada!

[kosmos84]

And whoever drove me to minus! FAST-A TEAM FOR FTBALL FOR WHAT

[kostya]

maybe the main Negro of America while at the post is still doing some good work, for example, he will disperse US aviation)))

[Russian]

give the next good news
usa divided into - 49 independent states,
1 state Alaska - joined Russia.

[Motherland]

Better yet, 49 states have become part of Russia.

[Tyumen]

Which is better? We do not have an extra 14 trillion to give back to the whole world.

[UAZ Patriot]

WILL BE LITTLE !!!

[itr]

Here I, too, something I cann’t cut the fleet and the dismissals of only 500 people
cheated again

[rumpeljschtizhen]

I see everyone is happy .... like America has become weaker .... you have porridge in your head ... the most powerful fleet in the world was and remains

[UAZ Patriot]

overestimation of the enemy is better than his underestimation +1

[Denis]

ahhheret !!! sorrow what
where should they send condolences?

[PSih2097]

Strengthen the 4th and the Canadian Navy that's all. They have nothing to lose, ships will be shuffled, only staffs and infrastructure will be reduced.
see map:

[legionary]

And, it seems to me that they will strengthen the 5th (since there are the main hostilities), the 6th (due to the increased area of ​​responsibility of this fleet)
