"Gitmo is 45 square miles. We are looking at is probably less than 1% of the base."

"What you mean, 'we', paleface?" '-)

The vast majority of that "45 square miles" is in water or mudflats. In my # 355, I reported on my scan of all the apparently buildable land area.

Here is a link to a map of the entire Guantanamo Naval Base. It is much larger than just the detention area, and it includes a whole lot more than "water and mudflats". We have had Navy, Coast Guard, Marines, Air Force, and Army facilities there for many, many years. It is huge; not as big in area as Rosie Roads, PR, but it is huge.

I was privileged to spend a wonderful 30 days and nights of refresher training in and out of the bay back in early 1976.
