We have needed to close some of the shipyards for a long time. I hated that they closed the Northrop Grumman/Avondale yard here, but it was about 15 years overdue.

The difference is that Portsmouth Naval is only one of 4 (5?) nuclear shipyards we have. They are constantly full of carriers and subs for refuels, medium discharges, coolant pump replacements etc...
When one is closed (Charleston in the 90s) it just adds to the workload and backlog of the other shipyards resulting in jobs being pushed through.
