Donald Cook was a marine POW during Vietnam who died in captivity and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor a-hole.

Sarcasm meter must be a little off this morning, but it should be obvious that the name of a ship is irrelevant to whether or not it would be targeted.

This could be seen as a friendly overture. They were just playing around.

"Donald Cook" is the least fearsome name you could conceivably give a ship.
Medal of Honor citation
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while interned as a Prisoner of War by the Viet Cong in the Republic of Vietnam during the period 31 December 1964 to 8 December 1967. Despite the fact that by so doing he would bring about harsher treatment for himself, Colonel (then Captain) Cook established himself as the senior prisoner, even though in actuality he was not. Repeatedly assuming more than his share of responsibility for their health, Colonel Cook willingly and unselfishly put the interests of his comrades before that of his own well-being and, eventually, his life. Giving more needy men his medicine and drug allowance while constantly nursing them, he risked infection from contagious diseases while in a rapidly deteriorating state of health. This unselfish and exemplary conduct, coupled with his refusal to stray even the slightest from the Code of Conduct, earned him the deepest respect from not only his fellow prisoners, but his captors as well. Rather than negotiate for his own release or better treatment, he steadfastly frustrated attempts by the Viet Cong to break his indomitable spirit and passed this same resolve on to the men whose well-being he so closely associated himself. Knowing his refusals would prevent his release prior to the end of the war, and also knowing his chances for prolonged survival would be small in the event of continued refusal, he chose nevertheless to adhere to a Code of Conduct far above that which could be expected. His personal valor and exceptional spirit of loyalty in the face of almost certain death reflected the highest credit upon Colonel Cook, the Marine Corps, and the United States Naval Service.

If they'd had one swivel around to follow the jet while not shooting I bet the pilot would have dumped a load in his flightsuit.

The two Russian SU-24 jets can be seen repeatedly swooping just 30ft from the boat as sailor's jaws dropped in horror.
Does the media hyperbole much? I am sure a more accurate description would have said "half the sailors were pissed at the Russkies and the other half thought it was cool/were busy filming with their Iphones instead of doing their jobs."

Well he was a brave bad motherfricker, a patriot and an honorable American. That doesn't mean he had an intimidating name. His name sucked.
