Sailors Test the Waters Before Entering the Danger Zone

Sorry about the Top Gun reference. I couldn't help myself. But this is a story worth sharing, and it's a scoop obtained by KPBS reporter Peggy Pico about the Navy's very first combat navigation simulators at Naval Base San Diego. According to Pico:

The combat navigation simulators costs about $15 million each. You can see exactly what the simulators look like by watching San Diego Week tonight. Oh, yeah, and I'll be on the show too - talking about the military funeral protester Supreme Court case.
