Nuclear carrier for Hawaii; scale of military occupation of Hawaii


The Star-Bulletin reports that "Pearl Harbor is still the prime candidate to be the next home of a Pacific-based nuclear aircraft carrier, say Hawaii's two U.S. senators."

Meanwhile, although arguing that the recent deal for the Navy to use 270 more acres of land on Kauai for free is a good balance, the Star-Bulletin editorial makes the point of how extensive is the military occupation in Hawaii, saying: "Military facilities have long been part of the landscape in Hawaii. The facility at Barking Sands, in operation since 1966, has become the world's largest surface, subsurface, air and space test and battle-group range and is one of Kauai's largest employers." It also notes "a public unwillingness to cede more land to the military."
