Not a huge need, really just Alaska and the Great Lakes. For geostrategic purposes, our friends to the north have something like 20 including a couple heavies.

- notamy 3y agoInteresting. I would have thought that the Great Lakes would be important to keep cleared and necessitate more than 1-2.
- bluGill 3y agoWeather on the great lakes in winter is generally bad enough that shipping shuts down first. There have been a lot of shipwrecks on the great lakes - much more than the oceans, even though a lot more ships cross the ocean.
