The main objective of the Long Range Plan is to provide and maintain a new ship construction facility with The flexibility to build any mix of ships from 100 percent commercial (crude and product carriers, bulkers, OBO'S, containerships, KOKO's, etc.) to 100 percent Navy non-combatants. The facilities will provide the capabilities for increasing ship repair work to serve as a counter-cyclical activity to new construction. The facilities will provide optimum flexibility for doing other-than-ship heavy steel construction, especially in the event of a downturn in new ship construction. Maintain a stable, well trained labor force for the efficient manufacturing of new-ship and other heavy steel products. The long term objective in laying out the yard and in providing facilities is to achieve optimum flexibility for the economical construction of a wide variety of commercial and Navy vessels. Also, in the event of a national emergency, have the capabilities to mobilize quickly and effectively to meet the nation's defense needs.
