description: This report provides background information and issues for Congress
 on the Navy's proposal to homeport a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier (CVN) at
 Mayport, FL. Transferring a CVN from Norfolk, VA, to Mayport would shift from
 Norfolk to Mayport the local economic activity associated with homeporting a
 CVN, which some sources estimate as being worth hundreds of millions of
 dollars per year.
