Navy, because it shows a wake of the water behind and on the side, if you will, of the russian ship as it makes its approach to the u. S. Navy ship which is clearly in front of it. You see that wake. That is an indicator of the russian ship moving at high speed. There are other images that show it with that wake showing it made a steep turn towards the u. S. Navy war ship. Now, it came according to the navy within 50 to 100 feet of the u. S. Ship. You can look at this video and you can see the u. S. Sailors can almost reach out and touch the deck of the russian ship. Thats how close this is. And remember both ships are moving in the water, nobody is standing still. So the risk of miscalculation is significant.

But regardless of how manaforts crimes stack up against other people and how long the sentence is compared to thos
