Parking base helps U.S. Navy & Marines by Sarah Oviedo
This article is about a base that the U.S. Marines use as a highway interchange and parking lot on sea. It is a test to see how well this can help react to a natural disaster. It can help save lives and prevent human suffering. Sea basing is helpful with loading and unloading ships etc. to travel to a place the U.S. Navy & Marines are needed. This base is located in California. This article was posted on October 24, 2014. The beauty of this ship base is the ability to lower to unload quickly and efficiently. This is a test to see how well this can actually help when it comes to something serious. There is a lot of monitoring and observing with this sea base but so far it is very reliable and hopefully beneficial for the future.
This is good for future problems and preventions as for the U.S. Navy and Marines to be present during situations they are needed. This can impact the U.S. politically, economically and socially.
