    Default Soviet and American ships in Arabian Sea

    Blatant intimidation by the Russians. We did nothing except honk the horn.

    Shameless provocation that should have drawn a General Quarters alarm and manning the weapons on the American destroyer...at the least.

    Russian and US warships almost collide in Arabian Sea

    The US Navy said a Russian navy ship "aggressively approached" its destroyer in the Arabian Sea on Thursday while it was conducting routine operations.
    The USS Farragut gave five warning blasts on its horn before the Russian warship changed course, avoiding collision.
    The Russian Defence ministry has denied any wrongdoing, stating it was the US Navy that was "grossly in violation of international rules".
    "The crew of the Russian warship acted professionally, performing a manoeuvre that prevented a collision with the intruder ship," the ministry's statement said.

    You were right using the term, Soviet, it your topic title.

    The Russian destroyer is "Admiral Vinogradov" built in the USSR and named after a Soviet admiral.

    There's two sides to every story..

    Remember we (US) have had a lot of collisions committed by our side in the last several years.
