“I don’t know a single maritime professional who thinks this is a good idea given the location and conditions ashore, but orders are orders.”

Lots of helpful graphics in the article.

Pier Delecto? (Yep, I know, not spelled the same)

[EinNYC]

Be a shame if that pier somehow exploded the minute it was finished...

[Bob434]

Next it will be floating resteraunts for alaskans on the Remote Bering seas in mid winter

You just know that a HAMAS a-hole with an AK-47 will not pass up the chance to kill some Americans...................

[Spok]

It’s a fiasco that puts Americans in harm’s way based on a faulty assumption that Hamas will be restrained from attacking them out of gratitude. We must learn not to ascribe our values to jihadist terrorists-they don’t think the way we do. Not even close.

Well, what if we are taking a page from the Chinese book, where every shipping crane is “wired for sound”?

If every piece of pier and associated equipment has a secret communication device, won’t the CIA and Mossad have a field day?

It might not be true, but if we talk it up enough, Hamas will blow it up themselves.

Will the Blessen have to drop anchor at the construction site? If so it will be an irresistible target, like a cherry on top of a sundae.

“..What if you are confronted with a wave of people wanting refuge on the ship? ..”

- brings to mind the airport in Kabul. People flooding the area were falling off the wings and wheel wells of transport aircraft after they were high in the air.

It would be simpler and faster to throw plastic bags filled with loaves of bread into the water offshore of Gaza and let Gazans with boats retrieve them.

[Brian Griffin]

We have fishing piers in Florida.

The two nearest ones to me are made from large rocks.

Gaza has a lot of rubble. Let Gazans make good use of it.

[DugwayDuke]

So it’s going to take two months for the ship to travel to Gaza. Then it’s going to take weeks to build the pier. Why bother? Does Biden think the Israeli’s are going to wait for the pier to be build before continuing operations?

A fixed target in a known location. What could go wrong?
