        <![CDATA[ The USN is planning to decom 7 Tycos early to save about 4 billion dollars. The saved money will be used for maintenance and repair for the rest of the fleet.Of the 7 cruisers, Port Royal (CG-73) is on the list due to 'hidden damage' caused by her grounding off Hawaii. Despite 10s of millions in repairs, she was too badly damaged to make any further repairs fiscally&nbsp;viable.http://www.dodbuzz.com/2012/03/22/navy-the-cruisers-must-go-that-others-may-stay/ ]]>
