(I'm not a race organizer but I'll post here anyway.)

"Four nations will join this summer's Rim of the Pacific drills in Hawaii, increasing the number of countries participating in the world's largest international maritime exercise to 27. Brazil, Denmark, Germany and Italy will take part for the first time in the biennial RIMPAC, which is slated to begin June 30 and end Aug. 4, the Navy said Tuesday."

Does your AIS speak Chinese? Oh wait, military ships don't transmit on AIS. Well, rest assured they'll see you before you see them!

More RIMPAC info.
