Intro says it all:
"The US Navy has been ordered not to use mid-frequency sonar equipment during training exercises off the coast of California until the end of 2009."
I'm curious, how will this effect the U.S. Navy in conducting training exercises in the Pacific? Specifics?
I'm not too in touch with life under the surface and thus don't know the difference between mid-level and high and low levels (?) of sonar. Would this 'ban' seriously hamper the U.S. Navy in detecting other ships and subs in the Pacific?
Any additional info would be appreciated relating to this topic.
Thanks.
