Not to mention learning a lot about how they operate and what their capabilities are. Like a football team that practices on an opponents home field, their every move is going to be observed, analyzed, quantified and categorized. |
Well, maybe not in this case. As the Russians would also know this, the exercises in the Carib are probably dumbed-down extensively so US SSNs wouldn't learn quite so much.
Which means not that much gets learned by the units in the exercise, but hey. That's the price you pay for making a political statement.
