Anonymous Coward User ID: 42567 United States 04/28/2006 05:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Source of loud "booms" in Port Angeles still a mystery 86857 Doesn't the navy do its testing and other military exercises in areas such as desolate islands in remote areas of the oceans? Aren't all military exercises conducted in such a manner? It would make sense if they are as concerned as they seem to be about preventing panics among the population. Isn't secrecy one of their biggest obsessions? |

It's an open program except for the ASW technology details and the actaul weapons carried. That's all I can say. |

Their operations would be shielded somewhat by daytime hubbub and they wouldn't be scaring people out of a sound sleep. |

The class of weapons deployed are different for exercises than those deployed for perceived "real threats" during defensive missions. |

If these training and testing exercises miles out in the ocean can rattle people's homes on shore enough to shatter glass sliding doors, then it must be a real rough ride for the military personnel conducting the tests. Wonder what it's doing to sea life in the area. Must be hell for the whales and dolphins. |
