Norfolk Naval Shipyard is indeed in Portsmouth, and they do service carriers. It's an impressive sight, watching them squeak their way up the Elizabeth River past downtown Norfolk.

That would be my worry ... cause some kind of obstruction in the river and suddenly three carriers are bottled up until it can be removed.

No matter how good you think your security is, the bar girls in Olongapo, Yokosuka and Naples know about ships' movements LONG before the skippers do.
