The House Armed Services Committee backed just $1,500 for immediate subsidence work at Long Beach Naval Shipyard and warned California leaders to take urgent actions. A harsher Navy subcommittee report urged full funding only after evidence of rapid mitigation measures, with the yard likely to deteriorate without intervention. Rep.
