QUOTE(TechSuper @ Aug 28 2017, 03:26 PM) Apparently its normal for US warships to turn off AIS. A lot of navies keep their AIS powered off. It's their choice. But from logical point of view, the stretch of water is very busy. Wouldn't it help a bit of u switch on our AIS let ur presence be known thus making it a lot safer? I've done transiting the Singapore Strait countless times and well aware of the hazards. Every bit of information is very helpful. This is the US Navy, YOU get out of the way!

The remains of nearly 1,400 WW2-era German soldiers found near St Petersburg are reburied by joint German-Russian teamGerman and Russian soldiers have been taking part in the reburial of the remains of more than 1,000 Second World War troops. The reburial took place today at the German cemetery in Sologubovka, around 40miles from St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) in Russia. A total of 1,386 remains of German soldiers were found in the Leningrad region and reburied at the cemetery this afternoon. The skeletons were discovered in a mass grave on the bank of the River Neva near the city, previously known as Leningrad, which was invaded by the Nazis in 1941. For 900 days the city fell siege to the Germans, costing the lives of around 200,000 Soviet soldiers and thousands of civilians. Soviet soldiers fought hard to secure a stretch of the river bank, in a bid to break the blockade from the Nazis but hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides were slaughtered in the process.
