Great write-up. To think how much some innocuous things like offshore mooring points can become a critical asset.<p>Also really enjoyed this factoid:<p>&gt;a new tanker in this class costs $40-$60 million, often less than one load of fuel it carries.

Great article explaining fuel logistics for the pacific theatre. I’m always fascinated by fuel logistics. Sadly also worrying as it sounds like a more and more likely scenario.
