• The Navy in San Diego is growing. Sixty percent of the fleet will shift to the Pacific Region in coming years.

• The economic impact of the Navy is significant to San Diego. Navy spending has mitigated some of the economic downturn for San Diego.

• Regulatory requirements have the potential to affect mission sustainment, impact training, and increase the cost to support the fleet.
