#1 military authorities are going to conduct the joint maritime drills as quietly as possible, refraining from making everything public to the press

Uh...

#2 As per #1, I 'm going to speculate that JAPAN MSDF warships = surface vessels, Sub(s)? may covertly participate in the NAVEX.

Given ...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CONFIRMED: JAPAN TO [formally, permanently] JOIN US + INDIA NAVAL EXERCISES IN INDIAN OCEAN.

* SAME > US PATROLS TO TEST CHINA'S PLEDGE ON [disputed SCS] ISLANDS - NASDAQ.COM.

* SAME > SOUTH CHINA SEA: US BRIEFS ALLIES ON PLANS FOR NAVAL PATROLS.

ARTIC > PH SENATOR ANTONIO TRILLANES IV, CHAIRMAN PH NATDEF + SECURITY COMTE [paraph] = denotes that what is occurring now in SCS is "quite risky [MilPol dangerous]... ... [We] need to know to what extent China is willing to defend these Islands".

LEST WE FERGIT, BESIDES WANTING "US-STYLE" SUPERPOWER = OWG CO-SUPERPOWER "STRATEGIC ACCESS" FOR THE PLA IN THE SCS, CHINA ALSO WANTS SAME VEE JAPAN + SOKOR + TAIWAN, + TAKE BACK TAIWAN UP NORTH IN THE EAST CHINA SEA [ECS].

Looks like its going to be Nippon Amb. "Sweet Caroline" Kennedy turn to bat SOONER THAN LATER -
CAN SHE PINCHHIT FOR POTUS OBAMA + SAVE HIS LEGACY IN TIME???
