The USS Anzio lays pierside at Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk, Va., Friday April 12, 2013. The Anzio is one of two ships that were to be retired this year but the Navy now is sending them in for repairs. Idle aircraft and pricey ship deployments underscore the contradictions and conflicts as Congress orders the Pentagon to slash $487 billion in spending over the next 10 years and another $41 billion in the next six months. Yet, at the same time, lawmakers are forcing the services to keep ships, aircraft, military bases, retiree benefits and other programs that defense leaders insist they don’t want, can’t afford or simply won’t be able to use.

Pictured with Obama are Naval Academy commandant Robert Clark, center, and Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, back left. Obama visited with midshipmen who will be affected by Maryland’s new Veterans Full Employment Act of 2013. The bill, passed by the Maryland General Assembly, creates an expedited licensing procedure for veterans and military spouses who hold professional licenses in other states. It also requires Maryland's public colleges and universities to develop policies to award academic credit for relevant military training and education. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)

In this image reviewed by the U.S. Military, Navy Capt. Robert Durand stands next to some of the makeshift weapons, including broomsticks and batons made of plastic and steel, that were confiscated from prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay prison following a Saturday clash between prisoners and guards, on display for the press at the U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, Tuesday, April 16, 2013. Soldiers with riot helmets and shields swept into recreation yards and met with resistance from several dozen prisoners, the leadership of the detention center said. The guard force raided Camp 6 because the prisoners had for several weeks covered up 147 of the 160 security cameras, making it impossible to monitor them amid a weeks long hunger strike. The hunger strike goes on, with 45 prisoners refusing meals and 13 being force fed, officials said. (AP Photo/Ben Fox)
