29Maritime Issues in San Diego
- NASSCO the last remaining shipbuilder on the
West Coast - A vibrant ship repair and maintenance industry to
support the Navy in San Diego and the CNOs Fleet
Response Strategy 10,000 workers - A small but growing cargo industry 10th Avenue
Terminal and the National City terminal Pasha
and an expanding Pasha Hawaii Transport Lines - 10th Avenue Terminal a vital resource for
NASSCO to support military and commercial
shipbuilding NASSCO 10,000 tons/year - The fastest growing cruise ship port in America
600,000 visitors in 2005 aging cruise ship
infrastructure - Land use and encroachment expanding residential
and tourism versus a healthy marine industry and
a strategic homeport for the U.S. Navy
30Summary - Key Issues
- NASSCO is a strategic resource to the nation
to the Navy to the Southern California region - Navy will always need a balanced capability
across mission areas and an efficient industrial
base to produce ships for each mission
combatants, submarines, and auxiliary ships - NASSCO and GD are investing in NASSCOs future
the business base, however, must be sustainable - A healthy shipbuilding industry requires
- Stable programs
- Sustained funding
- Program continuity
- Preservation of key shipbuilding technologies
- Marine Industry is an essential and growing part
of the San Diego economy
