That was the first such shooting in nearly four years.
Wonder why that was?

I never understood the warning shot thing. You've given them plenty of warning via radio contact and the fact that you're the US Navy. Just destroy one and save ammo later.
Makes you kind of wonder what Reagan might have done.

Damn 150 yds!.. that’s way to close for comfort. They should have been in Davy Jones’ locker before they got that close.
Yep. And they still didn’t shoot to kill at 150.
If it’s an unmanned/suicide boat loaded with explosives, that’s likely too late.

I hope Biden apologizes for the warning shots and gives them 140 billion

When we had a man for a president, he told them to stop or they will be sunk. That was the last time we heard of the problem until the puss in chief stole the office.

Yeah not sure but 500 yard security zone and anything under 250 once all security measures are exhausted time to disable and disarm. Makes me wonder if the Iranians are Messing with us? Just trying to get the USCG to take down a boat then claim act of war.....

Damn. I thought my boat was a piece of shite. Who knew I could be in Iran's navy

Sounds like we need to zero our scopes in.

Less than a year ago peace in the Middle East wasn’t just a pipe dream.
Gone are the days ole captain, gone are the days...

Well, it's abundantly clear they are testing our response. It's clear we have no stomach to engage them, but instead repeatedly fire warning shots as they consistently get closer. I'm legitimately curious how close they would actually have to get for us to engage them. 100 yards? 50 yards? Scratch the paint job?
It's like we completely forgot the USS Cole and what kind of threat these small boats present.

I didn’t realize the Indian Ocean was coastless.

Hell, they were escorting a nuclear missile submarine...
I didn’t realize they spent anytime above water outside of proximity to their bases.
Forget a Destroyer, the Iranians attacking a boomer would be a disaster if they were successful.
I wonder how close they actually got to the sub. I also wonder how difficult it would be to equip a small boat with an anti ship missile...

This is honestly boring. Warning shots 
Oooh, that's frightening.
Wake me up when we turn these vessels into miniature artificial reefs.
