Isn’t the hosting of a naval base a good example of this island being subsidized because the government wants to control the waters around it? And it being close to mainland is another reason, you don’t want another country having an island that close to you.
- onraglanroad 6mo agoNo, the island is already within the territorial waters, it doesn't noticeably expand it.
- senordevnyc 6mo agoUh, doesn't it extend it the entire size of Orkney plus another 12 nm?
- onraglanroad 5mo agoNope, you don't need a naval base to do that. The measurement is not from the closest naval base.
