My passing thought on bases and missile ranges is that the world gets smaller and smaller until the pacific is like a moat and everyone just counts the seagulls gliding by. Active defenses is the answer but those are expensive even for fixed emplacements.
Would welcome a deeper dive into USS Boxer incident with her Engineering Dept, and the larger issue of competence of the chiefs mess. While maintenance issues and shipyard backlogs have been ongoing, basic ship maintenance and job expertise amongst the uniformed ranks seems to be contributing factors to the overall repair woes.
When the future fleet commission was sixed, one wonders whether the commission would have come back with some answers that were likely to be institutionally unpalatable?
