“The Russians did that during our “encounters” in the Med years ago.”

Yeah, they used to get us with the “headlights” every morning. I was an EW aboard a carrier and it was a little scary the first few times.

Did you ever direct your ship’s fire control radar at them ever?

Or were you aware of another Navy ship doing the same thing to the Russians in retaliation?

I remember that happening in the med on the Kennedy. It was the same cruise as the Belknap incident.
