That's right, and it a real indicator that you couldn't read the sarcasm when I said that they were gray with white markings. They were NAVY boats patrolling around Navy ships. You say that's illegal.

"They were NAVY boats patrolling around Navy ships. You say that's illegal."

I never said it was illegal for a Navy patrol boat to protect a Navy ship.
Neither does the law.
Neither does the press release.
From the press release.
"All vessels within 500 yards of any large U.S. naval vessel (greater than 100 feet) must operate at the minimum speed necessary to maintain a safe course and proceed as directed by the Navy or Coast Guard patrol enforcing the zone."
