....U..S. Navy Destroyer Fired On Again...
Not a US vessel... The Swift was decommissioned and sold to the United Arab Emirates...they owned and sailed it when it was fired on.

According to the article, the ship is the USS Mason, which is DDG-87, an Arleigh Burke US ship. The Swift is a UAE vessel not the Mason.
BTW, a hull number that high makes me feel old since I served aboard the USS Hoel DDG-13. :=)

You should have read what was posted in its entirety before you commented your inaccurate comment. I just had to explain to another reader in detail your errant post.
