NORFOLK, Va. — The Navy is moving  three of its nuclear-powered aircraft 
carriers into different home  ports.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt was scheduled to leave  Norfolk, Virginia on 
Monday on a nine-month deployment to the Middle East. Once  its duties there 
are over, the Roosevelt will continue on to its new  home port in San Diego.

The Roosevelt is relocating as part of a  plan to allow the USS George 
Washington that is based in Japan to come  in for a mid-life overhaul in 
Virginia. The San Diego-based USS Ronald  Reagan will replace the George Washington 
in Yokosuka,  Japan.

The George Washington became the first  nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to 
be home ported in Japan in 2008.
