Airport, seaport provides advantage for aircraft transportation

The Green Cove docks at the harbor at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Sept. 16, 2016. The Green Cove, a vehicle carrier, transported six aircraft approximately 6,000 miles from Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, Calif. Delivering aircraft by boat is more cost effective than flying from the U.S. to Japan, and MCAS Iwakuni has both airport and seaport capabilities, which no other Marine Corps installation has.
