I'm not sure what they were thinking Tonchi. They hadn't even left Australian waters yet, so all the garbage has been collected by local fisherman and has had to be quaratined for obvious reasons. Ecologically, this issue could cause major problems not just for Australia, but for any other countries who happen to be lucky enough to host another country's rubbish.

I'm sure the US is not the only country who uses this practice for rubbish disposal, so this isn't so much a comment on the US navy as much as a comment on how stupid our legislators are world wide. How can they claim to care for the environment and such things as whale harvesting when they're using these waters as a toilet?
