On Thursday, Jan. 9, while conducting routine operations in the North Arabian Sea, USS Farragut (DDG 99) was aggressively approached by a Russian Navy ship.
Farragut sounded five short blasts, the international maritime signal warning of the danger of a collision, and requested the Russian ship alter course in accordance with international rules of the road.
It came within 180 feet of the American craft and narrowly avoided a collision, U.S. military officials said Friday.
The Russian ship initially refused but ultimately altered course and the two ships opened distance from one another.
For a nation with an economy the size of New Jersey, they sure have a lot of nerve.
