Probe asked in expensive Navy work on unused ship
Rep. Les Aspin asked the General Accounting Office to investigate the $12 million conversion of the USS Sanctuary into a health and recreation center that was never used. The Navy spent $13.4 million on the project, but Greece never granted base permission and the ship sits mothballed in Philadelphia. House Armed Services Committee says conversion was never approved. Aspin probes legality, total costs, and potential waste of taxpayers’ money.
