Homeporting, Status of Continuing Construction and Development

Abstract

Prior to your letters, the Secretary of Defense instituted a moratorium that halted new military construction throughout the Department of Defense. The moratorium has now been extended to November 15, 1990. As a result, some new construction planned for the strategic homeports has not started. Also, as part of a Navy infrastructure study the need for the strategic homeports is being considered, but the results of that study are not due before the fall of 1990. The Navy is also in the process of updating the net costs of not proceeding with the new homeports, which it currently estimates at $375 million. However, as we testified before the Subcommittees in April, these costs need to be weighed against the additional costs of making the new homeports fully capable and the Navy's increased operating costs of having additional homeports.
