The question involves the Avondale shipyard-- which used to be Northrop Grumman, it is now a part of Huntington--and there are essentially three possibilities of what might happen to the shipyard. One possibility is that we leave the…

The basic point is that the fact that this is going to save $310 million is not true. What this in fact is going to do is to force a solution that will be more expensive for the government and not very good for the employees down at…
