It would take several hours for the fleet to be mobilised and start sailing, which would likely be hours too late in the event of an outbreak in hostilities. Unless they have advance warning, ie they decide to do something silly and sortie the fleet in advance... |
Bah who says we even have to bomb it. We could be real evil and just
mine the harbor and the three straits leading to it. Modern USN Mines can discrimnated between warships and civies. And if they send out mine sweeprs blast them with a smart bomb.
Anyone who was aboard the Sam Robers would agree: Payback a B!tch.
