The U.S. Navy said it launched a second -- and final -- missile in a planned exercise Monday afternoon from a submarine off the Southern California coast.
The second test launch of the Trident II (D5) missile from a ballistic submarine in the Pacific Ocean took place Monday afternoon, the Navy said. The blast-off took place to far less fanfare than Saturday night's launch, which provoked residents from San Francisco to Mexico to take to social media, posting photos of an eerie-looking bluish-green plume smeared above the Pacific...

Don’t these tests usually take place in more remote areas? Why is the Navy suddenly doing these tests just off the California cost?

LA is the world's largest media market.
The western missile test range includes Point Mugu (Navy) and Vandenberg AFB (USAF). Launches from both easily can be seen in southern kalifornia and under special circumstances like Saturday night, by a large part of the southwestern US.
What ever happened to that supposed ship that was headed to those Chinese man made islands?
May God Bless our Navy. They had netter get ready quick because the Chinese are coming.
It occurs to me that there may have been an unexpected discovery regarding the reliability of the SLBM inventory and this very public ‘testing’ is intended to send a message to both friend (those Obama hasn’t driven away) and foe (an increasing number) that the U.S. is ‘doing something’ about it.
The ship passed “close” to the “island” and the Chinese put up a stink about it.
Ohchumply continues his impotent saber-rattling to China.
You guys better watch out or..or I my next test come a few feet closer.
They’re being launched from a SUB .. located off the CA coast.
Launching nuclear missiles isn’t risk-free in global geopolitics, even if unarmed and for a “Test” or two.
They’ve always been off Florida or Kali. WSMC, ESMC.
You don’t test-click your revolver in your girlfriend’s face because you respect her. The 0 administration is sending a message to Americans, not to Russians or Chinese.

Launching nuclear missiles isn’t a “secret” either. And this isn’t any pizza delivery for ALF. It’s a thermonuclear delivery platform. They’re saying these launches have to be secret. But if you don’t warn the Russians or Chinese this “regularly scheduled launch” is only an unarmed test, don’t you stand a chance of triggering doomsday? So is it only a secret kept from citizens? This is psyops. Mutiny Obama.
Isn’t it the Obama’s sociopolitical peeps who are always saying that big weapons are ... compensating for something? and didn’t Freud have something notable to say about those who say such things?
Why in another thread, it was explained why you do not test launch a Minuteman from a silo in Montana or South Dakota.
Probably the same thing for why you you do not just pop up a few SLBMs from out in the middle of the ocean somewhere, unannounced.
You would think this stuff would be a bit more obvious.
They launch silo ICBMs out of Vandenberg several times a year. I find it hilarious that Californians are freaking out and jamming up 911 switchboards when these launches happen more often than Pelosi pays her taxes.
Wasn’t there a flap and lots of fun made when the guy who is head of North Korea did this not terribly long ago?
