Just In Case You Were Wondering...

...where the anti-submarine warfare threat is focused, read this carefully:

The Department of the Navy announced Jan. 2 its decision to provide facilities and functions to base five fleet squadrons of the P-8A Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) with a fleet replacement squadron (FRS) at Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, Fla., four fleet squadrons at NAS Whidbey Island, Wash., and three fleet squadrons at Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, with periodic squadron detachment operations at NAS North Island.

That's four operational squadrons for Atlantic Fleet and seven for Pacific Fleet. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if one (or more) gets pushed to Guam or Japan eventually.
