Naval shipyards warned to avoid obsolescence by panel
A House Armed Services subcommittee report warns naval shipyards risk obsolescence due to chronic underfunding and manpower shortages. It criticizes the Navy's 10 year modernization program as slowed to a 20 year span and cuts in the next year's military construction budget. Long Beach Naval Shipyard shows funds cut from 25.9 million expected to 9.9 million received. Consideration is given to closing yards or limiting vessel procurement to private yards.
