"Due to reduced training and maintenance, almost all of our non-deployed ships and aviation squadrons are soon going to be less than fully mission capable and not certified for major combat operations. That's about two-thirds of the fleet," said Vice Adm. William Burke, the deputy chief of naval operations for warfare systems.

So how does 2/3 of the fleet become unready for major combat operations in the course of 2 months? Did the bubble gum and spit wads dry out or something?
