The governor of Washington state and other state officials have criticized a Navy military testing program that would potentially harm endangered orcas if approved.

The planned military exercises include testing torpedoes, firing projectiles at seven times the speed of sound, piloting mine-detecting undersea drones, deploying underwater sonar and exploding bombs up to 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms) in waters from northern California to Alaska, including the outer coast of Washington state, The Seattle Times reported.
