Mine Warfare

The Navy's Plans to Reassign Ships to Ingleside, Texas, and to Consolidate Management Gao ID: T-NSIAD-92-21 March 17, 1992

GAO endorses the Navy's efforts to strengthen management of mine warfare forces by giving the head of the Mine Warfare Command operational control of ships, helicopters, and associated explosive ordnance disposal detachments. If the Navy provides the needed resources, holding the Mine Warfare Command accountable could improve oversight and direction of mine warfare activities. GAO is concerned, however, that the Navy has not adequately justified its decision to consolidate its mine warfare forces at Ingleside, Texas. The Navy did not adequately study other options that may offer equal or greater benefits than Ingleside at less cost.
