Alabama’s Naval Station Mobile started as part of the Port of Mobile. Alabama leased part of the harbor to host their coast guard and navy after the Convention of States reformed the Federal government. They hired the Port yards to build new warships for State defense purposes. They also purchased many corporate “escort ships” to act as a core for their fleet, and Alabama became a major naval power. They would parley that into a major presence in the renewed space race, and several major components of the Mars Colonization Program launched from Naval Station Mobile. Each was sponsored heavily by the various corporations of Mobile, and carried their logos to Mars.
