DoD wont be Happy UNTIL they have just three BIG bases, one on the left coast(somewhere South of the Mason/Dixon line) one on the Right coast and ONE sucking out through the Bottom Coast. As I recall some smart person at Pearl Harbor said "Let's put all of our Ships and Aeroplanes into a tight little group so as to better protect them". Did the Imperial Navy ever sena a thankyou note to that person for making there job that day so much easier?! :shock: :evil:

Maine finally succeeds in getting the courts to declare the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is really in Maine and not New Hampshire so they can collect all that juicy tax revenue and it gets the axe.

Can you say irony :roll:


I was stationed up there on a boat going through overhaul. Closing PNSY would be a bad idea for the Navy. I don't like the idea that the only big time overhaul facilities for submarines left on the east coast are the same facilities that built them,EB and Newport News. Haven't they heard about competition. EB/General Dynamics stock probably went up at that announcement. H*ll, they probably lobbied for it's closure.
