Could be the boy is on one of the USNS supply ships. Maybe one of the ones getting docked due to Adm. Lisa’s lack of help. But the supply ships are un-armed. At most they have a couple of rifles to throw lines with. And the Irans like to crowd them a little. Best they can hope for is one of their escorts, a Cyclone maybe, to be close by with some 20mm.

I don’t think Iran is stupid enough to screw with an American ship. even a support vessel. There is no upside to doing it for Iran even if it is 100& crewed by Jews, and the downside is incalculable. I know their acolytes shot at USN out of Yemen but even that has been a bad ROI. Outside of falling off the fantail while smoking absent a war with a near-peer competitor, a USN ship is one of the safest places to be.
