The Navy has its own oil rigs?
Considering US foreign policy it's more like the oil rigs have their own navy.
Well oil is of strategic importance, so it makes sense, but ye I didn't know that
I don't think so. I've never heard of it, I can't find any info about it with a quick Google, and other articles just say "surplus oil rigs" without specifying ownership. I think this is just a mistake by the author.
