On April 6, 1995, we briefed you on the information we had gathered. You asked us to provide a summary of our briefing, even though some aspects of our work had not been completed, and update our information where possible to present the most recent data available. This letter responds to your request. Enclosure 1 provides information on the Navy's homeporting plans and policies for aircraft carriers and their relation to ship maintenance requirements and quality-of-life issues. Enclosure 2 discusses the inclusion of the Long Beach Naval Shipyard in the San Diego homeport area. Enclosure 3 presents the Navy's cost estimates for the various homeporting options. Enclosure 4 discusses major cost items and the assumptions on which the cost estimates were based. Enclosure 5 identifies the advantages and disadvantages associated with homeporting carriers in San Diego or Long Beach. Enclosure 6 discusses the Navy's draft environmental impact statement relating to the relocation of one nuclear aircraft carrier from the Alameda Naval Air Station, California, to North Island. Enclosure 7 discusses the need for a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier-capable drydock at North Island and the status of the Navy's plans to move a floating drydock capable of accommodating big-deck amphibious ships to San Diego. To obtain this information, we interviewed officials from the Chief of Naval Operations, Pacific and Atlantic Fleets, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for GAO/NSIAD-95-146R Nuclear Carrier Homeporting
