Finally theres the unseen factor. Lets say you ran some heavy copper cables to transmitt the power. It is almost assuredly only a matter of time before someone tries to steal that copper. It's Haitai thats how they do things.
No personally I think there efforts would be better put into re-establishing what little infrastructure they had there to begin with.

Tacoma used the Lexington's boilers like a homeowner would a generator drug out of the garage after an outage, powering a quarter of the city from December through January of the next year.

All of the equipment is onboard the carrier. The only thing needed would be the shore power cables.
