Navy plans frigate shuffle to increase military ships in Everett
EVERETT The U.S. Navy wants to build infrastructure to house and train 2,900 sailors and civilians, as a fleet of new boats could be sailing into Everett over the next decade, according to an environmental impact assessment from the U.S. Navy released Friday.
The Navy wants to station the new sailors plus their family members in the area by 2026, with the military planning to homeport up to 12 Constellation-class guided-missile frigates by 2028.
Despite the arrival of new personnel, there could be an overall reduction in the number of people stationed at Everett Naval Station, with around 3,100 people gradually departing for reassignment in the same time frame. All of the current Navy ships in Everett would leave.
Overall, by 2037, the Navy plans for a net increase from 12 ships to 14 ships in Everett, according to the report. Currently, the Navy lists only 11 ships as homeported in Everett, counting two U.S. Coast Guard boats. The Navy did not immediately respond to a Daily Herald reporters question about the discrepancy.

One of the ships is the USS John McCain. Considering the human carbuncle's reaction last time I hope it's incentive for him to stay the hell away from here.
