I know about the pocket carrier that was part of the Bug City taskforce,
but not about anything in the Pacific. Obout how big is the UCAS Armed
Forces? Esp. the navy.

I'm surprised. Given the fact the only NorAm nations that have more
coastline are the Carib League and Atzlan, the later of which doesn't not
seem very friendly. I'd be sinking modified oil platforms every 10-15
clicks along the edge of national waters and arming them to teeth, backed
up with subs, gunboats and so many drones that if they formed up in a tight
formation, it could be seen from orbit.

Amphib and lots of sea-borne fire power make sense for that reason, unless
the League owns the Gulf of Mexico.
