It's awfully hard to 'accidentally' hit another ship with naval guns.

Four Brazilian sailors and an Argentine officer were hurt

How the hell did the Argentine officer get hurt? Did the captain punch out his lights for fireing on the Brazilian ship?

Nice looking boat. I wonder where the hole is? Article says its not visable from the air, so they must have been using unfused or dummy rounds.

This Brazilian nurse is standing by for the injured.

I sure hope Iran and Pakistan don't do any joint "nuclear exercises" and have a similar incident.
