the USS Mason is a DDG, not a Swift....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.
the USS Mason is a DDG, not a SwiftAccording 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.
