DOVER, N.H. (AP) — A U.S. Navy admiral says new cost-control measures will impact Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

Foster’s Daily Democrat (http://bit.ly/YuBlSa ) says Adm. Jonathan Greenert, chief of naval operations, wrote in a Jan. 25 memo that the Navy is looking to reduce ‘‘base operating support’’ by 10 percent in the coming year. A recent report from the Navy Times says the cuts will reduce the Navy’s shipyard workforce by an estimated 3,000 employees.

The cost controls are part of a package being put in place by the Navy to address an ‘‘immediate budget shortfall’’ in fiscal 2013. They could translate into a civilian hiring freeze and termination of temporary workers at the Kittery, Maine, sub-repair installation.

With no new defense budget, the Navy is continuing to receive the same funding as it did last year.
