Stress doesnât technically cause shingles, but it can cause your immune system to weaken â and a weakened immune system can put you at risk for shingles.
There are two Carrier Fleet Logistic Support squadrons-one on each coast. VRC-30 is based at Naval Air Station North Island, VRC-40 is based at Naval Station Norfolk. These squadrons send two-plane detachments with each deploying aircraft carrier.
The new plan will maintain only one carrier in that region. Four of the Navy's 10 aircraft carriers are based in Norfolk, with a fifth, the Lincoln, receiving intensive maintenance at Newport News Shipbulding. More than 5,000 sailors deploy with each carrier strike group. Mike Hixenbaugh, 757-446-2949, mike.hixenbaugh@pilotonline.com.
