QUOTE (Psykopath @ Jul 5 2006, 01:01 PM) since when did four failed missles = a shitton of missles? If the DPRK loaded uranium onto four SCUDs and launched them at Seoul, it would cease to be. Furthermore, if the Navy accidently killed four whales in the name of national defense, you'd be calling for Admiral Roughead's resignation. Much easier (perhaps 4x easier???) to shoot a SCUD across the border than a Taepodong across the globe. |

I would? Yeah, avoid the whales if at all possible (in training exercises), but if the shit starts hitting the fan then too bad Willy, you're free from your corpeal woes now. 3.) No shit. -------------------- |

Maybe we should pay more attention to the people who actively try and kill whales: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5153602.stm

I doubt there are any insurgents on here, but whatever... |

Sounds like the issue has been settled. The Navy can use the active sonar as long as they stay away from sensitive marine habitats and increase monitoring for whales. The environmentalist groups involved agreed to this.
So basically, during these exercises, the Navy can't use the sonar within 25 miles of the newly established Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
