re: #276 ProTARDISLiberal

To be fair to them, they had a live-fire range that was creating trouble, and causing death.

I would rather move a carrier to Puerto Rico, after signing a promise of Stimulus Spending and no damn live fire, than to Florida. Don’t they already have a carrier at Mayport?

It’s being retired. And without a carrier, there’s really no point to keeping Mayport open. So Florida lobbied for the Navy to spend millions installing new equipment and dredging the waters deeper so that Mayport can support a nuclear carrier.
