So let me get this straight. Right in the middle of a Navy exercise, somebody (NOT the Navy) floats in with a stinger missile and shoots down an airliner? And then floats away Scot free With no one noticing?

Unless the Navy's job was to control which boats were allowed in and which were kept away.

ORRRR... maybe this was a pre-9/11 Osama Bin Laden job. And the Navy let him in and out of the area. You may be on to something.
