US Maritime Prepositioning Ships in 1986: Correction

The statement is inaccurate.

By 1986, the U.S. Navy had deployed 12 Maritime Prepositioning Ships (MPS) organized into three squadrons of four ships each, stationed at:

• Diego Garcia (Indian Ocean)
• Guam (Western Pacific)
• Rota, Spain (Eastern Atlantic) — not a generic "Eastern Atlantic" location

Not 13 ships; not "one squadron eastern Atlantic" without base specification.
