Maybe it coincides with the spotting of an unidentified submarine...

Hey not quite in the neighborhood - but you know Japanese vigilance..

be warned the report comes from Japanophile today, my guess is somebody's loud flatulence has been exaggerated into a media frenzy

or maybe there is truth to this and some anti-nuke nutjob really wants to kamikaze attack some US military base?

I was on base at Yokusuka visiting a friend in the hospital there at that time and there was no action on the base. Security was no more stringent than usual and I had heard via keitai from another friend who knew I was there that this "attack" was being portrayed pretty big in the media. But, never saw a thing that would indicate it was close to the base.

JNs were signing on base as visitors in numbers. No one seemed worried. Maybe lack of other reportable news of interest?
