Do you have a source for this? If so, amazing.
I'd kind of like to hear the other side of the story before considering this person't comments amazing.
There is obviously a good fit between a shipyard, and sub school, and a defnese contractor's site.
However, if the base is being close I suspect it's likely that the sub school is also going to be relocated, and it's likely that General Dynamics has another location where the ships going.
This does mean that the area is likely to take a big hit financially if the base closes. However, our defense dollars should be spent cost effectively on our defense needs, not to provide jobs in certain areas.
It's definately possible that BRAC screwed up, but that's why there's going to be a hearing to review their decision. I doubt the facts are as one sided as this article implies.
