That's my point. They are blind, and we need better charts. What I don't hear being brought up are the Low Frequency Active Sonar arrays and whales... remember that the US Navy has been harassed by activists trying to block them from using platforms with high-powered (200+ deciBel) sonar to improve the charts.

Seems to me that while this accident might not have been directly prevented by an unharassed program, it certainly points to a need for the LFAS program.

(BTW, link provided for reader convenience...not sure about the info on it--it's Federation of American Scientists.)

I agree-Blame it on the human hating earth nazis-they are to blame for human death, sickness, inconveniences and increased cost every time you turn around. The US Navy is actually using our subs at time to track whales and other life for these assholes to curry PR points. I say stick the eco-nazis in the torpedo tubes and shoot them at the whales.
