Maine and New Hampshire may diasgree over which state is home to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard - but they're in total agreement when it comes to keeping jobs there.

The delegation delivered a letter urging the Navy to stay on schedule -saying any delay could disrupt work flow, cause layoffs and end hiring of new workers. |
