@transitionprotocol.bsky.socialThe Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain: command center hit hard, a dozen-plus buildings damaged, roughly 400 million dollars to rebuild, and the Navy's top officer says it is not going back "anytime soon."
Damage dates from February to June. Washington admitted it Tuesday.

Acting Navy Secretary: They “blew the hell out of Bahrain.” The CNO: We are not getting back in anytime soon. Carriers can still appear. A headquarters that once felt permanent now looks like a liability. #FifthFleet #IranWar #USNavy #Gulf
