Representatives from the U.S. Navy have assured the Kodiak City Council that next month’s Northern Edge “war games” will have minimal impact on fishing activity in the Gulf of Alaska. The U.S. Navy conducts joint exercises with other branches of the military every other year in the Gulf of Alaska to maintain fleet readiness and prepare the Navy to respond to a broad range of threats in diverse areas.  This year, the exercises are scheduled for May 3-14 and will occur in a 48,500-square-mile area located 218 miles east of Kodiak.  At a presentation for the Kodiak City Council on Tuesday, Navy representatives said the training “requires Alaskan-sized spaces to simulate vast distances that modern military forces face.”
