Lead, follow, or get out of the way, are not applicable here.
Well, at least Nagumo doesn’t have to worry about sending in the third strike....oh, wait...wrong war.
Anywhere else to gas up the ships?
Or is Austin just sending a signal to the CCP?
Foolish.
It’s an old old very old facility and it’s contaminated the ground water apparently.
Upgrades should have happened but the USA was too busy spending its money on other countries.
I dont understand why they aren’t just replacing the leaking storage tanks piece meal instead of abandoning it.
This will not only cripple our fleet logistics it will devastate the local economy if the fleet packs up and leaves I would think.
What does this mean? What will be the future fueling resource that will take the place of this Red Hill facility? The article and official statement is peculiar and opaque.
They JUST updated the facilities 5 years ago. But now it’s not a strategic necessity for the pacific navy?
BS!
