The deck of the aircraft carrier the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is resurfaced as it is docked in Norfolk, Va., for repairs and maintenance, on Jan. 29, 2013.

The Eisenhower was in the Gulf but was brought home in December for maintenance. It will return later this month, but plans for the USS Harry S. Truman to deploy to the Gulf this week have been canceled. (Associated Press)
