Although I was in the Army myself, and never stationed in San Diego, it must be hell for the boats out of the Point going through that relatively narrow channel out of the harbor and past the point. You have the break to the east, and the Point to the west . . . and all those pleasure boats, and fishing boats . . . I am suprised there hasn't been any major collisions recently. And from my understanding more SSNs will be homeported out of Point Loma . . . that will only increase the traffic.
