January 10, 2020 7:45 pm
The U.S. Navy says one of its ships was “aggressively approached” by a Russian navy vessel in the North Arabian Sea, Friday, January 10.
A U.S. 5th Fleet spokesman said the USS Farragut was conducting a routine operation Thursday, when the Russian vessel passed by and narrowly missed colliding.
The U.S. destroyer warned the Russians by sounding its horn five times, a maritime signal for danger of a collision.
