Naval warships are usually most vulnerable to enemy attack while in port , unable to use their speed & maneuverability to evade & reliant on shore air & air defence assets. It’s been a perennial concern over the centuries for naval forces, which should be re-learned by the West

A Ukrainian missile strike hit a Russian warship in Crimea on Tuesday, in one of the most significant attacks against Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet in months.

Combined, these articles make a compelling case for the need for further investments into the humanitarian sector of Canada’s emergency management system which will help strengthen the country's resiliency in preparing for, responding to, & recovering from major disasters
