But it is my understanding that there simply are no more places to put in such ports without significant resettlement of large chunks of cities.

Take a piece of coastline, drill 5,000 feet down in about 9 places in a grid. Drop a 15kt nuke into the hole, detonate. Instant deep water capable port created.

LOL - yeah well I guess there is that....

What is really needed is a 60 to 65 foot deep channel that is 120 feet wide. Not a whole lot of places qualify for that. But I'm sure your solution would work very well.

Make sure your ships are lead-lined...

how about instead of the nuke, use that bomb they were talking about detonating near vegas? then no whining about using nukes.
