If I'm not mistaken, this is the only active garrison of its kind in the world. Much respect to the Marines holding the line in this lonely outpost.

i would suggest, we ground the rest of our derelict WW2 fleet on the shoals to save on having bases instead.we have lots of those and we dont as usual have any budget..problem solved! |
