US Navy to Turn Pacific Oil Rigs Into Mobile Military Bases to Counter China
AbouBenAdhem, The US Navy will convert its surplus oil rigs in the Pacific into active mobile military bases
The Navy has its own oil rigs?
MelastSB, Well oil is of strategic importance, so it makes sense, but ye I didn’t know that
catloaf, I don’t think so. I’ve never heard of it, I can’t find any info about it with a quick Google, and other articles just say “surplus oil rigs” without specifying ownership. I think this is just a mistake by the author.
PolandIsAStateOfMind, 
Considering US foreign policy it’s more like the oil rigs have their own navy.
queermunist, 
Now the military budget can just be given directly to the oil industry instead of needing to occupy hostile foreign countries.
