The Navy considered several sites on the U.5. east
coast for the relocation of the strategic submarine squadron to
ba withdrawn fror Rota, Spain. Because of strategic and
diplomatic considerations, the Navy determined that the
relocation site should be located on the Atlantic Ocean in U.S.
territory. Findings/Conclusions: Navy studies explored four
possible conditions for the relocaticn site: (1) one squadron
supported by a tender ship and a floating drydock, called the
T-1 concept; (2) two squadrons supported by two tender ships and
two drydocks, called the T-2 concept; 43) one squadrcn cf
submarines supported by shore-based facilities similar tc the
Banqor, Wp.shinqton, base; and (4) twc squadrons supported by
shore -sed facilities. The Navy looked to availability of lind
for expansion and explosive safety distances and also considered
cost, impact on the enviroLmen., impact on nearby communities,
timeliness, and operational considerations such as weather. On
January 26, 1978, the Navy announced the selection of Kings Bay,
Georqia, as the relocation site and rfquerted 1978 construction
funds of $26.3 million to support the T-1 concept. The
facilities planned are in excess of uhat is required to support
the T-1 concept, and the Navy's funding request vas overstated
by about $13 million. The Navy's 197S appropriatier request can
be reduced by that amount. (RRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaxdz0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
