In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, 'why don't I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,' and they abandon their values.
I am concerned about the adverse economic impact on the New London area, the abandonment of a huge installation of facilities and, less quantitatively, a loss of some of the proud submariners' heritage of our historic association with service and training at New London.
