Should the USS Firebolt have veered off course to avoid a stopped Iranian fast attack vessel ?

The Iranians are piss ant provocateurs for sure, but THEY ARE NOT OUR TEACHERS. There is the navigation rules of the road at sea. They should be followed, but that does not excuse any ship at sea from colliding when a collision could be avoided.

CSM. The US is dodgeing to much of this mess now. We let the other nations buzz our ships and aircraft and do nothing. That is telling me that they view us as a weak power. One that can't defend our forces.

They've played that game as long as I can remember those Revolutionary Guard in their Boghammers come out and play chicken usually when you In-Chop thru the Strait of Hormuz. During the Bush Sr Admin, During the Clinton Admin. Just the Nature of the Game. Been there, Done That. Usually they boogey when we light they up with a Weapons Guidance Radar.
