The Naval Ordnance Test Unit (NOTU) survived the BRAC today. They voted 8-0 to keep it open, citing the fact that the Cape provides a safe place for the Subs during test operations, and that it is also easier/safer access to deep waters for tests. <br /><br />The Pentagon had originally recommended that NOTU be moved up to Kings Bay, GA, which is where the Atlantic Ohio-Class sub fleet is stationed. <br /><br />FYI: ICBM and FBM launches make up for greater than 50% of all of the launches that have occured from the Cape.
