reporting, what the u.s. naval vessel was doing, it was recovering a helicopter so that is why it had to maintain the course. barbara starr, thank you very much for your reporting on this. i m sure we will talk to you again soon. joining me now is retired navy rear admiral john kirby. let s throw this picture back up. i want you to tell people what you see here. clearly you have the cruiser on the right of the picture, moving at a pretty deliberate speed as barbara reported, recovering helicopters, not only do you have to maintain a course, you have to maintain a certain safe speed so that the helicopter can land safely on the deck, which you can t see from this picture which is aft. she is on a set course and speed, very deliberate. you can tell the russian ship is moving at a high rate of speed into a turn. not only can you see the aggressive wake behind that ship as it makes that turn but you can see the bow wave in front of the russian ship conveying she is definitely moving at a
