But this couldn't happen at a worse time. When we should see the Navy going back to basics with ASW, "lawfare" will make this a non-starter. Coastal ops are an important part of sub-hunting. If the Navy loses this fight, these restrictions will seriously limit the training.<br /><br />The effect of this could go global. Other states, and later nations, will use the California restrictions to hamstring USN training elsewhere: If the Navy can't do ASW off California, what makes it ok off my coast?<br /><br />This reminds me of Vieques. It was the best of the few bomb ranges left for the USN&MC in the Atlantic, for aircraft and naval gunfire up to 16". But it was shut down for politics. Now the Navy has to do some training as far as in the Indian Ocean to compensate.WireguidedMarinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16444356806279366997noreply@blogger.com
