Nor a breakwater - if a storm hit the west side of the island, then everything afloat would have to be hauled out of the water, or flee. (Yes, obviously my original comment should have been more specific.) For military facilities, on a military budget, there's all sorts of "wait 'till the weather and tides are right, then transfer cargo ashore via helicopters and small boats" stuff that you can do. At commercial scale, the extra costs are poison. |
