“If you take a look at where the surface ships are, if there were ever a problem up in Norfolk, Virginia, it would be absolutely essential for those ships to be able to come into port to replenish, rearm, restore and go out to the operating areas where they have to serve. Without Mayport, without Jacksonville, essentially we don’t have that important requirement,” Natter said.
Natter hopes the conversation about a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier coming to Mayport will materialize.
