I don't think that's true. The yard closed for ship building in 1966. Ownership was transferred to New York City in 1967, and it now operates as a business park under the control of a local development corporation.

At no time was it owned and operated by NG.

In any case Brooklyn Navy Yard had no rights over the design of warships like USS Arizona and therefore would not have had any rights to transfer to a third party.

In any case USS Arizona is too old for any patent or trademark claims to still have any vestige of validity.
