"... COER, said the group feels vindicated that the Navy recognizes the draft EIS was “deeply flawed.”

Why does WNT quote this fringe group that nobody listens to?  This is the same group that has filed hokey "lawsuits" that have been promptly REJECTED by Federal Judges.

Not "flawed" - Navy is simply taking a harder look to leverage emerging technology that was not on the table at the EIS start.   This is called "due diligence" and shows a true desire to find a win-win solution.    

And COER continues to plot their "close the base" scheme.  Tragic.
