The eggs in one basket problem is more of a size of the country problem. One Russian sub off the east coast could take out both simultaneously. It makes sense when you are talking about spreading out bases in Ohio, Florida and maybe Arizona. This country is too small to have a noticeable effect by spreading out bases. That extra cost could go towards more kit (it won’t of course, but it could).
