Navy Laboratories: Response to Questions on the Norfolk Detachment
Disestablishment (Briefing Report, 02/22/94, GAO/NSIAD-94-114BR).

This briefing report answers several questions about the relocation of
the Naval Undersea Warfare Center from Suffolk, Virginia, to Newport,
Rhode Island, a move endorsed by the Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Commission.  The relocation came shortly after a new $27
million submarine support center had opened in Suffolk. GAO concludes
that the Navy will save about $11 million annually by consolidating the
Norfolk center with its division headquarters in Newport.  The Navy
still faces transferring about 500 scientists and 2,000 tons of
equipment at a cost of about $1.8 million.  The U.S. Atlantic Command is
already negotiating to lease the Suffolk building for use as a new
training complex.
