Government to abandon New Orleans navy yard for Guantanamo
The navy department plans to move the New Orleans shipyard and its vast floating dry dock to Guantanamo Cuba. Critics say the Gulf coast would be left exposed and Mississippi Valley exporters would suffer immense losses from channel destruction. A New Orleans Exchange committee is mobilizing support in Congress, citing $3 000 000 invested in the plant and a $15 000 000 channel program.
