Pearl Shipyard closure argued; carrier decision delayed
I haven't had time over the last couple days to
post all the articles, editorials and letters about the proposed closure of the
Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, but this
Advertiser
article
covers the BRAC hearing in NH yesterday, and efforts locally to argue for
keeping the shipyard open. Also, in the
Advertiser
letters
Kathy Howe says that closure could be seen an
opportunity.Meanwhile, the
Star-Bulletin
reports
that "The Navy has apparently postponed a decision to base a nuclear aircraft
carrier at Pearl Harbor until next year, pending the outcome of a long-term,
top-to-bottom Pentagon review of its military strategy."
