Agreed. If the US supports freedom of navigation, they have to accept this.
This is not a big deal. No Kirov BCGN ( I think the only one operational is Peter The Great in the Northern Red Banner Fleet), no CV, 1 SLAVA.
reckon we have an SSN or 2 nearby too.
I suspect their damage control is not up to ours.
