US defense and marine safety tough to balance
Over 150 lost, disoriented melon-headed whales swim chaotically in shallow waters off the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Nearby, ships of the U.S. Navy and its allies probe the deep with sonar to find submarines of their war-game "enemies."The mass stranding of whales in Hanalei Bay two summers ago is a scene neither the Navy nor environmentalists want to see repeated this month as 40 ships from eight countries return to the islands for the world's largest international maritime war games.

The military fired back, invoking a legal clause allowing the Navy to push ahead with the maneuvers on national security grounds.
