FYI: Ingleside is on the BRAC list
And it'll take them the better part of a day to transit that far ;^) the 'sweeps don't go that fast ... about 14 knots flank which is about 15-16 mph (but that's top speed ... won't be pushing it). Speed isn't a requirement for mine countermeasures.

Ingleside is less than 20 years old. Middle of the Texas coast. I don't get it.
