When I came to this realization in 1999, I sold my home in Santa Rosa, and moved my family to Alaska. Been there, done that. Hope you have good earthquake insurance.
On a side note, I think they should cancel the commisioning ceremony and spend every cent that would go toward wine, cheese and travel expenses for all the brass and buy fuel and ammo. Send her to the gulf and give her a proper commissioning.
I hope you take your own advice and have good earthquake insurance.
