NEWS AND VIEWS
FROM OUR 6PM NEWS ON MAY 15TH:
THE FUTURE OF THE GROTON SUB BASE MAY COME DOWN TO ITS NAME. MEMBERS OF THE SUB-BASE REALIGNMENT COALITION HAVE SUGGESTED RENAMING THE BASE "NAVAL STATION GROTON."
THEY SAY WHEN IT COMES TO MILITARY CUTS... "NAVAL STATIONS" TEND TO SURVIVE BETTER THAN "SUBMARINE BASES."
ANOTHER ROUND OF BASE CLOSINGS IS EXPECTED IN THE NEXT 5-6 YEARS.
View: As they say on "Grey's Anatomy": "Seriously?"
This is what it's come to? They're so simple in Washington that they'll buy a re-branded sub base? Heaven help us.
If that's the case, let's just call it "White House Connecticut." They'll leave it alone forever.

I just found this blog. I don't usually contribute but I thought this one was needed. I was once told that if they wanted the sub base closed it would be easy to accomplish. Even if it were voted to stay open all they had to do was move the boats out one at a time and not replace them. We can not stop them from reasigning boats to what ever base they wanted. So the base would still be "open" but there would be not boats there.
