Restoring 688 Refueling Budget Funds

(Intel Source: The Sub Report) Here's a good article from The Heritage Foundation on why Congress should restore funding to refuel two 688s in the next budget. While I think the actual cost of an ERO (Engineering Refueling Overhaul) is a little more than the $200M quoted in the article (although the price seems to be going down), it still makes some good points. My guess: Funding will be restored for one boat to make up for the possible loss of the San Francisco, unless they make a decision to keep her before the budget is voted on.
