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.
Yeah we do the same thing but there are still things to be learned.
