Pearl Harbor not added to list of base closures
Interactive: Base closings (Flash player required)

Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard will not be closed or lose its ship overhaul operations, an independent panel charged with reducing the number of the nation's military bases decided in a vote today.

The nine-member panel voted 5-4 in favor of a recommendation to add the shipyard to a list of bases it will be considering for closure or restructuring but seven votes were needed for approval.
