Base closing panel preserves Navy bases in New England
A federal commission bucked Pentagon plans by keeping open the Portsmouth shipyard in Kittery Maine and the New London submarine base in Groton Connecticut, safeguarding about 12 000 jobs and the regional economy while still pursuing other closures and realignments across the United States. The panel also decided to close Naval Air Station Brunswick Maine and realign Corpus Christi Texas, signaling political and economic stakes in the fourth wave of base closures.
