Thanks for the feedback.

Copter fuel and the ability to make that much fresh water each day are big assets.

My concern is/was the limited access to the islands re shallow water that would prevent a Nuc Carrier to get very close to them or their docks (if the docks/piers are still in operational condition.)

Nuc carriers can launch Corvettes that can reach shore easily.
