69any other motions in this category?
(Mo response. )
CHAIRMAN CMJRTER: Seeing
none, what I would like to do is see if there
is a motion to entertain a 5 or 10-minute
recess.
COMMISSIONER COX: I so move.
COMMISSIONER MCPHERSON:
Second.
CHAIRMAN COJRTER: All those
in favor, say aye.
(Chorus of ayes.)
CHAIRMAN CARTER: We'll have
a 10-minute recess.
(A brief recess was taken.)
CHAIRMAN CURTER: The
Comission will come to order. And there's
one announcement with regard to procedure,
what we're going to do as far as continuing
tonight.
And we have concluded that the
Comission wiLL press on in the hopes that
smtim this evening we will have completed
all our work and will be taking, obviously, a
dinner break for a short period of time, nybe
half an hour, in about an hour and-a-half or
two hours. So we intend on finishing this
evening. We'LL see how it goes.
You may proceed.
MR. YELLIN: Yes, sir.
Mark, please put up 25 and 26.
We're now going onto the West
Coast Naval bases. We have for consideration
Naval Station Everett as an alternative to the
closure of Naval Air Station Alameda.
CR CRUZE: On slide rw. r 25
-- again, I won't read the whole slide -- I
would like to do talk about a couple of
things, though. First, as we initially
addressed in the berthing capacity issue, I
would like to remind you that PAC fleet home
ports have a significant excess capacity, as
per the OD plan, which is 38 cruiser
equivalents, so that one of, if not the key
issue in Pacific fleet hom ports is carrier
berthing.
I would also note that you see
Naval Air Station North Island an the right
side of slide 25, and it has no asterisk or no
C or none of those. It's on there simply
because we expect to discuss it as a home port
for carriers.
Thirdly, I would point out
that the Naval Air Station Alameda's military
value on a score block -- I would point out
that the 48.2 is the military value score of
Alameda as a Naval air station. The Navy did
not do a military value analysis of it as a
has port or as a Naval station, and the
cimui ty asserts that, i f i t had been done,
its military value as a Naval station would be
65.
Finally, I would note on this
chart -- and I perhaps should have roted it on
the East Coast chart: - - that in these closure
costs and anrnual savings, 1 did not reflect
coammi ty assessments of these nuaters or
aoifications to these numbers because I have
not had the opportunity to adequately review57
them. I would note, however, that in several
cases, there are large differences. For
example, in the case of Alameda, the community
asserts as much as a three times higher
closure costs and a return on investment of
over 100 years.
On slide number 26 is s what
of a summary of the Pacific fleet aircraft
carrier situation. We have walked through
parts of that. On the top half, you'll see
the planned capability. North Island plarwed
capability is for three nuclear carriers. No
Navy decision that I'm aware of has been=oe
on exactly how many will go there, only that
the Naval air station will be eventually
capable of berthing three nuclear carriers.
You might also note in the
bottom right of this side, as far as planned
home ports are concerned, that, based on
current Navy plans, there is only one nuclear
carrier at North Island.
Back to the top, again, most
of us were in Alameda and were familiar with
the three carrier capability there with the
photograph we received. I would note further
down that Bremerton, which is Naval Shipyard
Puget Sound, is Bremerton, Washington. As the
note reflects, the current capability and
planned capability of three nuclear carriers
and four nuclear carriers -- two of these
berths are inside the controlled inustrial
area.
They are inside the shipyard
berths, overhaul-type berths. And two are
outside the controlled industrial area. One
of the two outside is still under improvement,
and it will be capable of berthing a nuclear
carrier in '94. And we, as noted, need to
study further the abiLity of the base and
communi ty infrastructure to support any more
than one carrier. They have done that,
however. There have been two there, one in
overhaul and one home ported.
I guess the essence, again, of
this Pacific fleet home port issue is the
berthing of carriers. And as at Least one of
the commissioners has requested, we have
proposed for study Naval Station Everett as
one of the --
CHAIRMAN COJRTER: l think
there were a number of the commissioners that
were interested in your taking a Look at
Everett.
CDR CRUZE: Yes, sir, there
were.
COMMISSIONER COX: Could you
tell us a little bit more about Everett? Its
current capabiti ty is not complete, even for
the one carrier. I think it was GAO that said
they needed several hundred mill tion dollars
snore work before that would be available; is
that correct?
(O:R CRUZE: The pier itself is
complete. The Naval station is not open. It
is not an open Naval station. There are no
ships there, at this point, the pier itself
is complete, with the exception of the stem
plant, which just provides sort of what we ~
call hotel services, shore services to the
