CORRECTED - FACTBOX - Pentagon budget plan hits ships and planes

(Corrects to "coming years," not "the coming year," paragraph 1)

REUTERS - The U.S. Defense Department outlined fiscal 2013 budget cuts that would slow warship building, scrap 10 percent of fighter-jet squadrons and cut nearly 100,000 ground troops in coming years.

Among the programs that would be slowed, reduced or ended if the plans are approved by the U.S. Congress:

- Purchases of Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter would be slowed to give more time for testing and design change. But the Pentagon said it stood by plans to buy 2,443 over time. Final assembly of the aircraft is in Fort Worth, Texas.

- Northrop Grumman's Global Hawk Block 30 long-range surveillance drone would be canceled.

- Eight fewer Joint High Speed Vessels would be purchased in the five-year spending plan. The warship is built in Mobile, Alabama, by Austal USA
