I don't know how more "provocative" it can get other than to do this fully armed and switching missile lock on and off.
I appreciate the feedback, gents.
I was actually referring to a different event with a carrier, but you name the carrier operating in the 7th Fleet AOR and its happened with Bears. Everyone seems to think we should have done something about it, and while I agree to some extent that there are things we could have done without shooting it down or shooting at it, that is not the policy we live and operate under(like it or not).
