<p>The botom line is that we don’t know what happened in the Strait of Hormuz. What we see on TV may or may not be indicative of what happened that day. All I know is that the story that I read seems a little funny to me. In tight waters, ALL US Navy ships have personnel manning the 50 cal. along the rail. If any “speedboat” was threatening, the capt. would not hesitate in defending his ship. I agree that the boats seemed to be very close on the video, but this has occured multiple times according to what I understand.</p>
