US Navy to launch new game

The US Navy has announced plans to release Navy Training Exercise: Strike and Retrieve, a new PC game available for free download from the official Navy website.

It seems they've has been inspired by the success of America's Army, a military training sim launched three years ago to encourage more Yankee youngsters to sign up for protecting the homeland and killing dangerous foreigners - and which today has three and a half million active players and counting.

Now the Navy Recruiting Command is hoping that NTE will prove just as popular and "help build interest and awareness of Navy high-tech jobs."
