  1. from the audio track, I would say our guys were very polite and respectful in informing the guy in the little boat he was gonna get blown to smithereens if he didnt alter course

  3. The video lends alot of credence to the US Navy's assertion that the guys in the little boats were making harassing moves

    I think the only thing that saved those guys lives was the current rules of engagement the Navy follows

    in a true war zone they wouldn't have gotten with 10 miles even in Hormuz

  4. Yep, warn them twice, put some rounds over the bow, then sink them to the bottome of the straights!

  9. There are several strategies available to defend against these missles. From CAP intercepts, High Value Unit protection, the Aegis system, and Sea Whiz, otherwise known as, Phalanx(See that thing shoot was really cool!)
