Military base closures proposed and study planned
A list of major defense cutbacks proposes closing several bases or transferring activity. It recommends a study to scale down all major Army training centers rather than shuttering one completely. The plan targets Navy yards in Boston and San Francisco, Long Beach naval station, Newport cruiser-destroyer HQ, and several Air Force and hospital facilities with multi-thousand civilian and military staffing and substantial annual savings.
