On Feb. 8, a drone was seen flying above Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor .. home to the Pacific Fleet’s 14 ballistic-missile submarines. Each can carry up to 24 missiles with multiple nuclear warheads.
The Navy said, “It’s our intent to support the investigation and prosecution of this reported act, and any others that may occur, in coordination with civilian law enforcement,”
Security forces are supposed to shoot down violators but have yet to do so, said Doug O’Donnell, chief pilot at Avian Flight Center at Bremerton National Airport.
