My info on US ranges is secondhand from 3 captains who have done it. About the same from UK ranges. I've done oversea range clearance from the air. We simply waited for boats to clear the area or shifted the area a bit (if possible).
I'm a yacht and aircraft captain. The other skippers I've discussed this issue with have all agreed with the sentiments I expressed.
edit: I believe the MoD do consult with the RYA, etc.
edit 2: just rechecked the regs for a range off Hawaii extending into international waters. What I said originally is the case. If commercial companies choose to go around them, it's their choice.
