why kill domestic jobs when we can close foreign bases and stop giving tax payer dollars to foreign workers. I mean we have 22 bases in Japan alone.
that story was about cuts that'd close a shipyard, not a base. do we have shipyards in foreign countries available to close before this one?

The Portsmouth Naval shipyard is a base. As are all of the DOD owned shipyards. As the article states it is a political move and not because the shipyard is obsolete. It is being closed because of the budget cuts and is being closed without congressional approval as is normal protocol by going through BRAC.
