As we are running out of conventional powered carriers, this means we
will still be able to have a carrier based there in the future. I
wonder how long before they will allow subs, and other nuke powered
ships to be based there as well?

There are no "other nuke-powered ships" in the USN, just the carriers and
submarines.

Well, it's not my fault that the Long Beach, Truxtun, and Bainbridge were
decommissioned. You will have to blame someone else!

Wasn't there a big stink in Japan once when B-52s from Guam safe-haven'd
('phoon evaced) at Kadena on Okinawa? This would've been the late 70s or
early 80s..
