How about the Chinese Dragon Lord? We'll need it against them. And who's to say that the Russians won't return to a more authoritarian government. It looks like that might very well be possible. And besides, it's not like this sonar is run 24/7. A sub normally runs on it's passive sonar. If this new one is as powerful as they say then it will probably only be used in a combat situation. Because using it will be like telling your prey that you have them in your sights. They also will know where you are.

And I never said I was against preserving wild life. I just put a higher value on human life. Whales are in far more danger from the Norwegians and Icelanders than the subs and ships of the US Navy. And let's not forget the Japanese and their "whale research".
