He's sending the U.S. Navy Ship - the Comfort - to Arizona.

(25,926 posts)I've lived in Arizona two different times in my life, and knew about the naval station there, and always wondered about it.
Just to complicate things, I understand there's a Swiss Navy.

(53,061 posts)Because of large scale irrigation use on the US side it was expected that the runoff would have increased salinization so a desalination plant was built so that the Colorado River would be returned to its appropriate level before crossing into Mexico.
However improvements in irrigation techniques made the plant stand unused for years although it might have been used more .recently
