Perhaps my ex-Naval colleague, @rlmorel, can comment on that.

I would appreciate that, for future reference. I have absolutely no doubt of your expertise with this.
Quick question though. Can the Navy track Navy vessels while AIS is off?

Follow-up answer: This CNN (yeah -- I know...) video report seems to indicate that the Navy is now having its vessels turn their AIS transmitters on when they are in heavily-trafficed areas outside of port...
Just another FWIW data point...
