The aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan is headed back to San Diego.

The ship departed Bremerton Monday after a 14-month, $218 million maintenance and upgrade stop at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.

Cmdr. Kevin Stephens of Naval Air Forces Pacific told the Kitsap Sun (http://bit.ly/YmhA10) the Reagan isn't scheduled to deploy for some time due to federal budget considerations.
