-
Vessel in the first picture is not US navy or they have the wrong flag on that boat. that is a Turkish flag not US.
-
Haha! Just so you know you both look like a couple of fucktards arguing in the playground about some sweeties! Haha!
-
you really are distracted coz you dont know what you are saying!..
-
*you're *you're
-
They should have killed everyone on the boat.
-
haha your fucking retarded you never said bombs haha i was saying the guns wouldn't hurt the ship, you just randomly brought up bombs the fuck no one was talking about bombs yes of course if a small vessel has bombs then it can do damage but by it self let me see this damage haha your a person that doesnt give all the facts at once act like you know everything you could have avoided this whole argument if you would have said it had explosives dumb ass no shit with bombs it would haha
-
Who's the dumb one with a comment like your's "might hurt the carriers people"! Did you look up the cole to see the size of the boat the damaged the cole? It wasn't a big boat but it was packed with explosives. Don't be naive and wake up dumb dumb!
-
are you dumb or something haha you said look up the USS Cole, in response to his what can a small boat do to a massive air craft carrier then you say look up the USS Cole and see what can happen, a small boat wouldn't do shit to a massive air craft carrier it might hurt the carriers people but not the carrier it self haha
-
I'm not following what you are saying? The US ships are equipped with sophisticated weaponry that can knock down missiles, including the Russian "Sunburn".
-
i do believe he said to the aircraft carrier it self not the people on it, clearly small arms fire is going to kill those on the deck, but take that same gun and shoot at the ship itself, it be like throwing rocks at a high speed train
-
Common sense. But quit using terms like "none lethal" warnings before firing for affect, it sounds like a bunch of pussies. Say it like it is- if you get too close we will kill your asses! Enough said!
-
NO WAR !!!!!!!
-
ww3 = attack to iran :(
-
It wasn't an aircraft carrier and you obviously have never heard of the USS Cole.
-
There is a set distance. It's pretty standard for international mariners. Plus if a ship is sounding its air horn and firing warning shots at you, that's probably a pretty good indication that you are too close.
-
Were they all blind? What do you mean they don't know how far away they were. The ship blew its air horn and also fired warning shots on several separate occasions. You don't need to know English to know someone wants you to stay away. Finally, a supply ship does not steer erratic courses. The bigger ship has the right of way anyway. Do you even know what you're talking about?
-
first of al!, small fishing vessels have no radar so they have no idea how far or close they are to those navy vessels 2nd navy vessels steer eratic courses in complete ignorance off all traffic at high speed , so i guess they probably approached the small boat faster then the other way around 3d in that part of the world not every vessel has a working vhf or the knowledge of the english language 4th every seaman in the world knows navy vessels (of any nation) to be the worst seaman EVER!!!

....captain distraction.....ten minutes later.... Ohhhhhh I see!!!!! Lol
A U.S. military supply ship fired Monday at a small boat in the Persian Gulf after it came too close, apparently killing one person on board, two U.S. officials said. The USNS Rappahannock, a fuel resupply ship, fired on what the officials called a "small, white pleasure craft" 10 miles from the Dubai port of Jebel Ali. The small boat appeared to be headed for that port, the officials said, adding that their information was preliminary. The U.S. ship verbally warned the smaller boat when it was 1,200 yards away and fired at least one warning shot before the decision was made to fire shots to disable the boat, the officials said."In accordance with Navy force protection procedures, the sailors on the USNS Rappahannock ... used a series of non-lethal, preplanned responses to warn the vessel before resorting to lethal force," the Navy said in a statement. "The U.S. crew repeatedly attempted to warn the vessel's operators to turn away from their deliberate approach. When those efforts failed to deter the approaching vessel, the security team on the Rappahannock fired rounds from a .50-caliber machine gun." Officials described the course of events as standard procedures when a small boat gets too close to a U.S. Navy ship. The officials, who would not be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation, also described the small boat as having made a series of maneuvers, but emphasized they were waiting for more details about what exactly happened.
