The SAG and two additional frigates will be based at a new Navy facility in Stapleton, Staten Island, to be con- structed during 1986-89 at a cost of $282 million. The contract to reactivate the Iowa was awarded to Ingalls Ship- building in July 1982, with redelive- ry then scheduled for December 1984. The ship arrived on the Gulf Coast in September 1982, and was drydocked at Avondale Shipyards under subcontract to Ingalls. She arrived at the Ingalls yard in Pasca- goula, Miss., in January 1983 for reactivation of her nine 16-inch guns and remaining 5-inch guns, as well as the modernization of living accommodations and installation of modern weapons systems and elec- tronics. Following a revision of the delivery date by the Navy, the In- galls work force began working ex- tended hours last December to com- plete the reactivation on the accel- erated schedule. Iowa was recom- missioned in ceremonies at the ship- yard on April 28 this year. An environmental impact state- ment released by the Navy in late October this year indicates that the new Stapleton Naval Base will create some 900 permanent civilian jobs and add $3 million a year to New York City and State revenues. Upon completion, the project will contain an estimated 5,600 jobs, the majority of which will be held by Navy personnel (4,607) with anoth- er 995 held by civilians, the Navy report said. These figures include 163 existing jobs that would be transferred from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The study further estimates that the base will indirectly stimu- MARITIME REPORTER and Engineering News Editorial and Executive Offices 107 East 31st Street, New York, N.Y. 10016 (212) 689-3266 • ITT Telex: 424768 MARINTI PUBLISHERS John E.
