Seems they wanted some for study, so deliberately got in front of them. It's a good story but seems terribly risky-- how do they know the warheads are dummy? Same question should prevent their subs and ours from harrassing each other with practice torpedoes. -- Frank Reid W9MKV @ K9IU reidgold.bacs.indiana.edu {inuxc,rutgers,uunet!uiucdcs,pur-ee}!iuvax!silver!commgrp
