New Shipyard Seen Unlikely in Tidewater
Newport News Shipbuilding president D A Holden says current economic conditions make a new Tidewater yard unlikely. He notes efforts in Washington to push a Portsmouth yard for the Navy FDL program, but private bids are unlikely amid tight money. He favors subcontracting FDL work and cites cost of construction and training. General Dynamics Lockheed and Litton would more likely modernize existing yards.
