BRAC Logic....NAS Brunswick

snip.... So
Brunswick, Maine was a big deal for the nuclear side of
things--presumably also for anti-sub weapons for the P3s.

So has that nuclear bomb storage business already closed or is it
going to go elsewhere too? Does that matter?

Very early in my Naval career, I was taught this mantra: It is the policy
of the US government to neither confirm nor deny the presence or absence
of [nuclear | special] weapons at any specific location.

Is that policy no less important today? It is none of anybody's business
where that stuff is currently or has been stored.

You're right, --good thing you didn't tell, then you'd have to kill me

Barry

Of course, the triple wire and "special weapons magazines" labels
on maps of facilities like, oh say, NAS Moffett Field were a
dead giveaway.

It's a giveaway that the field is *capable* of handling special
weapons - something the DoD rarely denies is present. It says nothing
about whether or not something is actually there, and *that* is what
is neither confirmed or denied.

It is a somewhat amusing situation. In the months prior to 9/11, the
submarine force had been making great strides in coming out of its shell.
We were giving regular tours of the boomers at Kings Bay to what seemed
like anybody that wanted them - the Boy Scouts, the Rotary, school science
classes, you name it. It was kind of funny to watch the looks we'd get
giving the neither confirm or deny speech to guests on a ballistic missile
submarine that was obviously getting ready to go to sea ....

I wonder what changed across the mid-90's, as we were doing that here
at Bangor ca 1987-1990. For that matter, in the mid-80's we fairly
routinely gave tours at King's Bay. (4 refits on a '41 - and I can't
recall one of them without a tour of some sort.)

nods Yes.
