But those 8000 launches are for actual rescue call-outs - they don't include the boat/s going out for training, PR jobs etc or being away from Base for servicing & so on. & if the Unit has two boats, which side of the jetty are they each moored at today? e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=18/36.95504/-76.32943 (Bing) - so can we stick a pin on the north side of Pier 11 & mark that as the *Gerald R Ford*?; https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=17/36.95551/-76.32857 (Esri) - Ooh, maybe not?; but then again https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=18/36.95551/-76.32993 (Esri Clarity) - well, the *Harry S Truman* is a *Nimitz* class rather than a *Ford*, but that's close enough, isn't it? I have to keep saying the same thing - boats are mobile objects, & as such, shouldn't be mapped. Thanks Graeme
