The people being trained by the US Navy to read Morse are intercept operators.
The article indicated that they are only learning morse for a standard latin (ie. English) alphabet. A number of years ago I visited the radio room while on a boat cruise in the Caribbean. The radio operator was copying down morse coming in over the radio. I tried to see what I could copy in my head but I couldn't make sense of it. When I looked at what the radio operator was writing down it was Greek. I don't mean as in "it was Greek to me" but that it was actually in the Greek language. The US Navy morse interceptors will need to be able to copy morse in multiple languages to be truly effective.
