Orange Couny and LA quite often when I was working. As stated above, it is not unusual to see large warships and hovercraft off shore in the Camp Pendleton area. Also not unusual to see helicopters and units training right beside I5 and the ocean. The unusual thing is live ordinance fire from ship to shore. I've never seen that happen and IT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN!
