LOL I know hermits with more firepower. Heck, my high school homeys had more. Well, in the aggregate. I don’t know why the ADM wanted the weapons stored, those “heavy” weapons were frozen and inoperable. Perhaps he didn’t want to “provoke” the DPRNK. Warship...that’s a good one. :D)
You are correct. He preferred them to be stowed to avoid a provocation.
