CBS reported: After an Iranian vessel approached too close to the U.S. Navy's "Lincoln" aircraft carrier, which was on a mission in the Arabian Sea, a naval support ship attempted to fire its MK-45 gun installed on the bow at the Iranian vessel, but multiple shots missed. Subsequently, an armed helicopter carrying Hellfire missiles took off and hit the Iranian vessel with two missiles.
Trump claimed that the 13-day war had knocked down 90 Iranian warships, and they had no navy, no air force, nothing left.
What was the vessel approaching the Lincoln?
Perhaps it was an Iranian fishing boat.
Key point: Regardless of what kind of ship it was, it had gotten close enough to require the use of a naval gun to eliminate the threat!
The expensive naval gun missed several times, and finally, a helicopter had to be sent to deal with the remnants that the gun failed to hit.
Each Hellfire missile costs $150,000.
