UNID 6906.1 KHz USB mil/DHS ops 2136 UTC+ 11/30

First spotted by several on the #pirateradio IRC channel, we have some USB comms in American English on 6906.1 (approximate) USB mode that sound like they could be a US military exercise. Tracking simulation with callsigns including TORINO, CORVETTE, KILO, HELLCAT 53, WOODPECKER, VOLCANO, CITY HALL and perhaps others. Speculation on #wunclub is this could be USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH (CVN 77) training/testing activity off of Florida. Thanks to mco, N2UHC and Token for help.

Listening on a remote this is US mil.  Sounds like a a US Navy AAW (Anti Air Warfare) net.  They have engaged (in a simulated way) several taergets, splashed at least 2 and escorting one.
