Navy ships spend more time underway than the did in WWII. A lot of time was spent at an anchorage in WWII.

It was called “Murderer’s Row.” Aircraft carriers lined up across Ulithi Lagoon. Ulithi was used as the major “secret” naval base during WWII. Official U.S. Navy Photograph.

How secret was it? Japan used it before the U.S., and the Japanese attacked it multiple times.
