Summary:

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.
