Interesting, but it had better have top notch defenses and each module better have multiple uses in case one is sunk on the way to the operating theater.

This is the kind of concept I read in a book a couple of years ago called
SeaFighters by James Cobb, in which a floating offshore base was used to support LCAC's which had been modified and turned into a new class of gunboats.
Maybe reality is starting to catch up with fiction.

Offshore platforms are dangerous enough without being on one that is a target.
Serving on this thing would be like serving on a first generation submarine. Best stick to personel with no dependants.
