Naval Station Pascagoula - Base Realignment and Closure, 2005

Base Realignment and Closure, 2005

NAVSTA Pascagoula was marked for consolidation under Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's list of base closings in the May 2005 round. This was a blow to Mississippi Senator Trent Lott, who fought to get Pascagoula off the list in 1995. On August 24, 2005, the Base Realignment and Closure committee voted to include Naval Station Pascagoula on its final list of closures. The base officially closed November 15, 2006.
