    Part of that, I imagine, has to do with the aging fleet. The other part might have something to do with appealing to law and order/risk management sensibilities in order to fix that.

    A federal tax on legalized marijuana would likely fund several new asset purchases. (I suppose that is a reasoning reserved for when ships were made of wood, rather than irony.)
