They wanted to scrap the Truman decades earlier than planned rather than refuel her because they want to build more of those Ford-class money pits. It is beyond stupid in its approach.

President Trump - "I am overriding the Decommission Order of the magnificent aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman, built in 1998 (fairly new), and considered one of the largest and finest in the world. It will be updated at a fraction of the cost of a new one (which also are being built)!"
I kinda agree tbh. We already spent the money building her, might as well get as much bang for our buck as possible. Not saying I agree with the 10 aircraft carrier policy, just that the ones we have should be used efficiently and not wasted.
