		Perhaps now that our naval operations have dramatically decreased because of the winding down of the Iraq war, this will be less of a problem; still, it is always dangerous to conduct "practice shootings" in close vicinity of enemy ships.

		Now, these naval deployments may be totally innocent and not related at all to the planned war; however, if they are not related, this coincidence is very curious and unusual.
