The rationale is that companies will save beaucoup bucks; Sun hopes to see $700 million to $800 million in annual savings. Unfortunately, layoffs are too often proof of bad management by executives in mortal fear for their own hides. At best they generally provide no net benefit and long-term disaster at worst.

The English city of Newcastle was hometown of the rock musician Sting, who as a young man witnessed the city's shipbuilding business dry up. He's paid homage to his town's heritage by writing and starring in a musical, "The Last Ship."
