The branches serving Tripoli alone will be more than 1,200 miles long, a distance roughly equal to that between Switzerland and Scotland...

Four floating dry docks can accommodate surface craft or submarines. Its supply depot is the Navy's largest, and its magazine holds 3.8 million cu. ft. of ammunition. Some 4,500 Filipino technicians keep 70 ships a month in good repair. The workers earn a typical salary of $1.80 an hour, one-seventh the amount in U.S. shipyards...
