This is a new incident...about the 3rd in the last few days.
This was the USS Squall, a Cyclone class Patrol boat armed with a 25mm chain gun, several .50 cal machine guns, and can carry griffin or Hellfie missiles.
Apparently it was helping escort a Kuwaiti vessel when three Iranian patrol boats began harassing it.
When they came to close, one in particular, they fired .50 cal shots into the water near the Iranian.
This is going to lead...soon...to a serious shooting contest between our vessels and we’d best get very prepared for it now.
Reagan knew what to do. We need another Operation Preying MAntis about now.
Hopefully it's mostly between their vessels and our attack aircraft.
