The Navy's fiscal year 1978 apprapriation request to
construct support facilities at Bangor* Washington, for Trilent
submarines was reviewed, including the $109.4 million for 14
different Trident-related construction projects and $11.5
million for increased municipal facilities and services
resulting from the Trident support base. pindings/Conclusions:
The need for on-base retail facilities (estimated to cost $4.8
million) was questioned, since a substantial number of retail
outlets currently exist close to the base. The Navy overstated
its request by about $1.1 million, as the facilities requested
exceed Defense Department and Navy space allowances. The Navy
has shown no convincing economic reasons for not deferring
funding of explosive handling wharf #2 (estimated cost $26.3
million); based on its scheduled use, this project could be
4eferred. A questionable note for postcontract award services
overstated the request by about $0.9 milli,-n. About $1.7 million
in prior funds had not been allocated to specific projects;
these could be made available to this request. (Author/DJM)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacic0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
