I think most of our Seattle ships go to Cali and Hawaii for the winter. Otherwise, they would have to go through the canal for repositioning.

That makes sense.

Forget about the West Coast ships. They are (1) slower to get there and (2) needed elsewhere (yes, even the older LPD rustbuckets).

East Coast is a different matter, and some ships could be made available if that was deemed to be the optimal plan.
