...wouldn't they take responsibility for it? Isn't that the point?

You would think so.

But then again, some speculate that it was a missile launched from one of our Navy ships in the area.

That's one explanation that I'm not buying. I was in the Navy, on a Destroyer. When a bird is launched, you can hear it throughout the ship. They make quite a roar when the candle is lit. It is very short, and very fast, but very noticeable. There is no way in the world that the entire ship's compliment is going to be silenced regarding a missile launch. Not plausible.
