The ships at sea have a fighting chance ... I'm not worried about them. Ships in port have always been a target from Cuba "Remember the Maine" to the USS Cole in Africa.
San Diego is ground zero in any modern warfare scenerio, but a terroist can attack at will in San Diego Bay with two to three nuclear carriers already berthed there now, not to mention the rest of the third fleet. The US Navy has finally seen the light and moved their Point Loma/Ballast Point submarine flotilla to Hawaii and Guam ... Long Beach is no longer a base, San Francisco is just a port of call leaving Seattle and Bangor, Washington as the only other major ports on the west coast besides San Diego. Those two ports are a long way from the Pacific Ocean. They could carve a sea port out of raw land in Alaska ... where no man has ever been before ... Safely secure the area using submarines, security checks for all family members and base employees of which most would be retired civilians or even the family members themselves. Check all food, check all supplies, air lift everybody and everything in, house everyone in comfortable quarters, stay warm and prepare for WW III Don't wait for a terroist attack to sink a modern warfare vessel ... be prepared for one now ... I have always had a fear of turning on the television and seeing a US Navy nuclear carrier smoldering on her side in San Diego Bay. Don't be afraid be ready ... ![]()
