At the end of the runway (if it is the one I think it is) is a very deep ocean trench. The B-2 is probably resting somewhere between a couple of B-52’s.

The air force will move heaven and earth to bring that bird back up if it went into the water.

Six of one, half-dozen of the other! IIRC (it's been 40 yrs since I flew into/out of Anderson, with normal prevailing winds most landings and takeoffs are towards those cliffs. One doesn't want to land long ... or lose power on takeoff! The first time, I was shocked at how quickly after lifting off you're 100s of feet over very deep ocean.
