"The lepers of Molokai gazed out to sea one day last week and beheld
a long smoky line of ships smudging the Pacific horizon. Cut off from
the world, few of the lepers knew that they were sighting the U.S.
Scouting Force, assembled in Hawaiian waters to begin the Navy's annual
war games. Normally based on the Atlantic seaboard, the armada was in
Pacific waters for the second consecutive year. Economy had been the
Navy's explanation for not sending the Scouting Force home. Japan
urbanely ignored any darker reason."
-From "Fleet Problem No. 14," Time Magazine, Feb. 13, 1933
