  • Defence Disposals in the UK Contrasted with Sustainable Redevelopment in Four US East Coast Navy Yards
    Defence Sites 243 Learning from experience: defence disposals in the UK contrasted with sustainable redevelopment in four US east coast navy yards C. M. Clark Wessex Institute of Technology, UK Abstract Modern war is now conducted remotely – via unmanned military drones, robots and chemical weapons; troops can be moved into battle rapidly from advanced positions. These developments in attack and defence technology render many facilities in fixed positions – navy bases, garrisons, forts, airbases, training grounds – increasingly redundant. Many governments are disposing of these surplus defence sites, some of them historic, but the processes and the outcomes vary enormously from country to country. In the UK large swathes of defence land are earmarked for sale in the near future; the Ministry of Defence is under increasing pressure to rationalise its holdings and save public money. The United States Government is considering selling off many more of its publicly owned assets in the face of prolonged recession. Although the closure of military sites is happening all over the world, transfers of learning from the accumulating experience of post-defence reconstruction, both within and between countries has at best been sporadic. This conference is one of the first to examine the complex and particular challenges to land reuse thrown up by reductions in defence budgets. Planned disposals offer a unique opportunity to provide long-term benefits to local communities whose economies are affected by losses of defence related employment, but they do not always result in such outcomes. Examples of good practice in this paper are drawn from post defence experience in navy bases on the east coast of America, complementing the paper on Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Established in 1909 as the School of Morine Engineering, as a port of the U.S. Naval Academy, it answered the need for advanced education of naval officers. In 1912 the School of Marine Engineering became the Postgraduate Deportment of the Naval Academy, and the scope of its engineering curri­ cula was broadened to include Ordnance, Naval Construction, and Civil Engineering. After a suspension of operations during World War I, the Deportment resumed operations in 1919 in a separate building on the Naval Academy grounds. Two years later it was officially designated the United States Noval Postgraduate School with a further extension of its curricula scope and growth of its enrollment taking place in the years between the two World Wars. In 1927 the General Line Course was started within the Post­ graduate School to acquaint junior line officers with modern developments taking place in the Navy and to broaden their professional knowledge by means of integrated courses in naval science. World War 11 caused an increase in enrollment from about 125 to over 600 and a tremendous expansion of activity; in contrast to the period of suspension during World War I.
