I would suggest the following policy, at 1600 meters they get one warning shot. At 1100 meters sink the damn thing.

During the presidential campaign last September, Trump vowed that any Iranian vessels that harasses the U.S. Navy in the Gulf would be 'shot out of the water.'

Maybe that's what Iranians are positioning for - could be dry runs for the bigger plan.
