Navy Tries to Buy Port Chicago to Protect Navy
Washington A California congressman defended Port Chicago amid Navy plans to buy all habitable property within two miles of its piers. The 1944 explosion killed 320 and damaged 12.5 million, with current ammunition shipments rising sharply to Vietnam. The Navy seeks 15.8 million to relocate residents, while lawmakers press to reroute piers or relocate them to Saussin Bay to reduce danger.
