The value for readiness of co-locating submarine training, concept development and design work with a nuclear submarine shipyard cannot be over estimated.

And the value as a lucrative target is also pretty high!

Indeed it is. All the more reason not to further concentrate those forces into fewer still targets. Going down to one is clearly too few baskets. Particularly these kinds of forces so critical to our military advantage. And especially where they want to send them, down to Kings Bay, where the channel can be much more easily blocked by a sunken ship. Exacerbating the vulnerabilty issues to an overwhelming degree. If we have multiple bases, the attacker's level of certainty of effectiveness is severely diminished. And the chance of American recovery is dramatically improved. Hence, these are manifestly false savings.

This is still more evidence of economic implosion...and politically directed at that. So much for the American economic superpower. Can't...or won't... even maintain what we found a relatively trivial expense all through the last 60 years.

Imagine of what it would cost us to try and rebuild all this being squandered if we needed to?
