A U.S. coastal patrol ship faced seven Iranian Republican Guard Corps Navy fast in-shore attack craft before swerving to avoid crashing into one on Sunday, according to a 5th Fleet spokesman.
The incident is the latest in a series of interactions the Navy has called "dangerous and unprofessional" in a year that has seen more run-ins between U.S. and Iranian ships than in recent memory. Iranian vessels harassed destroyers and PCs in four incidents in late August, resulting in warning shots in one case.

One of the remaining four FIACs in the area then turned and stopped directly in Firebolt's path."
Obama allowing these people to humiliate America. America needs a real president.
Those boats should have been blown out of the water.
Me thinks that Obama might just want to start a war...to cement his party in the presidency. Historically that is what has happened...WWI,WWII,Korea,Vietnam....etc; He is anti US enough to do anything and so is Illary@!
CIC is balless and supports the government of Iran.
It just shows how appeasement in unmarked SFR will get you. Great job there Obama!!!
Pictures of my father and my grand-fathers Navy ships, both had guns, great, big, fat, long, guns, are those no longer part of the equipment?
The rest of the world is watching these acts of intimidation and aggression and they are taking notes. Its not good when you’re not respected.
Iran is about to do something stupid ,this is just practice
Anyone know if theses ships are equipped with those lasers that can take out these small boats?
Not on a PC. .50s and 25mm M242s.
Don't believe me? Wanna BET?
FROM 1988, under REAGAN:
U.S. Sinks or Damages 6 Iran Ships in Persian Gulf Clashes..
Anyone want to bet me that they won’t try this crap when Trump is in the White House?
Females voted,
America DIED
Yes they will.
Once.
They have enough to take out these militarized speedboats. A rapid-fire auto cannon is really all you need.
Guns are bad and dangerous, didn't you get the memo or hear the MSM bleating about them?
That’s what old fishing nets are good for. Immobilize a couple and see what the rest do.
A real commander in chief would have been on the phone last time to tell the Iranians that if they get within a certain distance, that is considered a hostile act and the vessels will be fired upon.
This is like the fourth posts on this subject. Just saying.
