Apparently, the Russians have stated they will target any Asset or Platform that launches any missile at Syria's Territory or Military, that would include ships at sea.

This may be important or not: the actual wording used by the Russian was "launching facilities" and did not exclude other targets. Nothing in the Russian messages indicated that they will seek out specifically the platforms used in launching, any platform capable of launching or assisting it is a fair target.

I didn't make it clear but I would assume that the Russians would target anything that would support a missile launching asset, except hospital ships/facilities.
