Right, then they'll have to build 100 aircraft carriers to protect it.

There was the same problem in Space. Russia and China have anti-sat weapons in-orbit pointing at targets already.

So put them where Russia and China's navies are a problem, but you also have pirates to worry about

I'd assume the US too. I haven't decided if it's a problem yet. Just a comment. Still thinking about where this can lead to. I guess what I'm saying is that presumably, naval contractors would support this project, so it has a good chance of going forward.
