I believe the COs are following the procedures that are currently in place (as I have no reason to believe otherwise). I have no issue with the actions of COs regarding this topic. My issue is with the procedures that allow for armed fast craft of a hostile nation to come that close to our Naval vessels.
It is in all of our adversaries’ MO to identify weaknesses and exploit them. The fact that these craft have been allowed to come as close as we’ve seen is absolutely a weakness that should be eliminated.
