The Pentagon proposes a $61 million five year modernization of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in New Hampshire. Senator Thomas C. McIntyre says the yard would become the Navy’s major overhaul and conversion facility in the North Atlantic region. The plan allocates nearly $13 million in 1977, $8.1 million in 1978, and about $40 million from 1970 to 1981, plus deeper berths, a turbo generator, and upgrades to power, water, and pollution controls.
