I wonder how this affects Commander, U.S. Forces Carribean, located in Key West? He had command responsibility for all U.S. Forces on land or sea in the Gulf, Carribean, coastal waters and Central America back in the mid ‘80’s.

I supported that Joint Command in ‘86 - ‘87.

It got rolled up under Centcom in the 90's.

Key West? I was in Key West. Give me a break. That’s the party base. What do they have? 3 or 4 slips? As least when I was there in the 70s.

Mayport is the place you wanna be. Key West is way too small and close enough to Cuba to wave hello to Raul. The waters are incredibly shallow with limited maneuvering for bigger ships. That is no place to be based for anything other than local patrols. If any place was a case study for a littoral navy, that’s it.
