Too bad they were just warning shots. There's always next time ... See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4728758/US-Navy-ship-fires-warning-shots-Iranian-vessel.html

These guys are well and truly the outermost ring of defense in the Persian Gulf. Proud duty, that. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool. the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

And I think shots across the bow are quite different from firing upon... Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I would have thought the "safe" perimeter would be larger than that? It's based on a "three ring" scenario, not distance but TIME dependent. First ring is "identify", second is "challenge" and the last is "engage". NO Warning Shots STRICTLY PROHIBITED, but I suspect a Supplemental ROE package has been issue. When I was there, it was definitively prohibited. A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance.

They're running something akin to a decent fiberglass fishing boats we have here, their boats have a heavy machine gun and some missiles and the backing of allah who we're arranging the meeting with. �Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth.
