Hence my use of the plural. But I only mentioned them in response to the idea that active sonar endangers the ship using it.

Anyway I think the situation isnt about passive vs active. Its more about how bush with a single stroke voids a court ruling.

Even if it was legal.. The power he holds is extreme.

Well not for nothing do they call the President the most powerful man in the world, but i'd rather see the result of the legal challenges to his orders before i'd claim they weren't within his rights to order.

Good thought August...how can a plane or helicopter avoid any animal life if they can't see it? They might have a slim chance of hearing it on their passive buoys...I can see that happening...Sir, we have biologics at bearing 315...better hold off on the active buoy even though I have a strong 50hz tonal at bearing 270 hiding with them.:roll::roll::roll:

What, every time? :doh:

Forget the anti-sonar law! The US needs to invest in anti-cetatian warfare NOW.
