Well the Admiral of the fleet did, so I suggest you take it up with him.
You don't attack ships in international waters in peacetime.
December 7th, 1941.
Never mind that China is selling their technology.
Who did WE attack on Dec 7, 1941? WE DON'T WORK THAT WAY.
And you expect the Admiral to breach security and give details of out ASW capabilities?
Your ignorance is astounding.
