Comment for Navy Training Range Extended
http://www.nwtrangecomplexeis.com/

A variety of training exercises are conducted in the safe and controlled environments of the Navy’s range complexes, including:

Gunnery & bombing
Missile firing
Torpedo firing
Vessel movements
Aircraft operations
Mine hunting and detonation

They will also be using sonar.

"Moreover, recent world events have placed the U.S. military on heightened alert in the defense of the U.S., and in defense of allied nations. At this time, the U.S. military, and specifically the U.S. Navy, is actively engaged in anti-terrorism efforts around the globe. Title 10 U.S. Code Section 5062 directs the Chief of Naval Operations to maintain, train, and equip all naval forces for combat so that they are capable of winning wars, deterring aggression, and maintaining freedom of the seas."
