Reply #21: I am aware of this why I said DISASTER PLAN [View All]

the British Navy has supply ships that all they do is well supply the Navy. They are already modified to do this. So there are already some assets for this.

As to fresh fruit... here is how they used to do bananas, for example, before the jet age. You think bananas are harvested green these days? You have no idea how green they were harvested back in the days.

The problem is that this per force raises transport costs.

And you would not be able to get a cargo of bananas even using the Royal Navy Supply ships that are already refrigerated, for at least two weeks, with best times from there to Central America. (And I am assuming the weather behaves and those things are actually fast ships... otherwise you are looking at best case three weeks)

This is why you'll see shortages no matter what you do, and personally I'd use those ships to make the trip to European ports for more critical things, like Milk.

I am sure somebody is dusting that plan off, or if not available, writing one.

Now the effects on the POLITICAL system... will be more than just amusing.

Oh and I forgot, Cargo Containers can do this already too.
