Is the World’s Biggest Navy Base Sinking?

What if the U.S. Navy’s main base in Norfolk, Virginia sinks?

It could happen. And it’s not an isolated problem, as climate change alters coastlines all over the world.

A report from the American Security Project identifies Naval Station Norfolk as America’s fifth most endangered military base. The report also lists Eglin in Florida, Diego Garcia, Bahrain and Guam as being particularly vulnerable to climate change.

I mean, that's direct warfighting stuff, not something like "reduced agricultural potential in the Sahel might lead to more conflict in the world and that could impact the military situation".

Yes, but you see... Acknowledging reality is woke.
