"In five years, we will finish the construction of breakwaters and piers," Venezuelan Navy Commander Admiral Ceasar Ramano said. "As a result, the base will be able to accommodate up to 100 ships of the Bolivarian Armada and those of visiting allies." Venezuela has allocated about $480 million for the construction of the new base between 2008 and 2013 under a targeted federal program. Ramano said, although today was the official groundbreaking ceremony, three piers had been constructed and the work was underway on building breakwaters. The construction of other infrastructure at the base, including facilities for coastal troops, aviation and logistics units, will continue beyond 2012, the admiral said. In addition to the main base, the Punto Fijo base will also maintain two airfields and a ship re-supply facility.

OOC Get used to stuff like this. A lot of members admins included barely read certain texts and then make very incorrect statements.

Established member Posts: 70 Group: Members Member #46 Joined: Oct 16, 2008	The quotes (though the admiral is fictitious) are from a Russian Admiral concerning a new Russian base being constructed as a replacement for the Russian naval base at Sevastapol. The cost of the base and its capacity were taken directly from the article. In game, Venezuela will be receiving assistance and expertise from the Russian Navy, as well. I hope this further clears up matters.
