data showing costs and rentals for Navy-controlled installations
in the United States by nonindustrial and industrial types.
Of Navy properties controlled on 30 June 1966 within the
United States only 1.7 percent was at inactive installations,
measured on a cost basis. Properties classified as industrial
type facilities comprised on a cost basis 29.3 percent of the Navy
real properties within the United States.

Of the total acreage Navy had under its control within the United States on 30 June 1966, 33 percent, or 1.37 million acres, was owned outright. An additional 2.29 million acres (55 percent of the total) were public domain lands. Lands previously labeled "public land" in Hawaii were reclassified during the year as result of finalizing certain actions in connection with statehood agreements.

The data in Table 23 provide certain detail relative to Navy acreage by type of tenure and installation.

The increases in leased

and public domain acreage were primarily in connection with a

gunnery range in California. Of total acreage controlled by the Navy in the United States, 96.4 percent was located at installations which were in an active status on 30 June 1966.

In Table 24 data are presented showing State detail as to total cost and acreage of the military real property controlled by Navy within the United States. Navy has properties exceeding one-half billion dollars in cost in the four States of California, Virginia, Hawaii, and Maryland. These properties make up $4.1 billion or 47 percent of the cost of Navy properties in the United States. The

cost to the U. S. Government of Department of the Navy real property in the State of California amounted to $2.2 billion on 30 June 1966. This was 25 percent of the $8.8 billion cost of all Navy Department real property in the United States.

In terms of acreage, 67 percent of the Navy United States total on 30 June 1966 was California land. This amounted to 2.77 million of the Navy U. S. total of 4.15 million acres. The next largest amount (233 thousand) is in Nevada, which represents 5.6 percent of the Navy

U. S. total.

The ten real property categories representing the greatest cost to Navy are shown in Table 25 and are illustrated in Chart 6. In total, they constitute 60.8 percent ($5.4 billion) of the over-all Navy real property costs in the United States. The broad diversification of Navy activities in the country is illustrated by the data in Table 25. While shipbuilding is one of the Navy's leading peacetime activities and accounts for a large part of its industrial activity, the Navy has numerous other activities of importance within the industrial field, namely, ordnance plants, various test stations (underwater laboratories, torpedo, radar, electronics, ballistics, etc.), propellant plants, ammunition depots, and other munitions type production facilities. Within the United States the largest Navy amount is invested in the maintenance facility category which is 11 percent of the U. S. total. Family housing and airfield pavements are the next two largest categories in order of investment. Family housing makes up nearly eight percent of the Navy U. S. total.
