Five Iranian speedboats of their revolutionary guard navy tried too threaten U.S ships earlier today.
Apparently it was just a feint.
But the crews of the ship didn't think so and were just about too fire their guns in self-defense when the boats sped away.
Personally I think they should of just fired on them too scare em a little so this type of incident would not happen again.
However it appears that when the boats sped away they dropped white containers into the water.
What they were, buoy's, trash or even mines is unknown.
Iran has the capability however of blocking off the straights of Hormuz with mines, which would probably cause chaos and steep rises in oil prices. So it makes a recent decision too retire the last of our minesweepers kinda stupid, don't ya think?
