"At least one came within 25 feet of the American boat, and Chinese sailors used hooks to try to snag cables the Navy boat was using to tow sonar equipment designed for antisubmarine warfare."

now I read All Navy F/A-18 E/F Super Hornets, Growlers grounded after incident injuring aircrew
The Navy temporarily grounded all F/A-18 E/F Super Hornets and E/A-18G Growlers Friday after an aircrew was injured and a Growler damaged in an undisclosed incident Friday at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Navy officials said.

The aircrew of an E/A-18G jet assigned to Electronic Attack Squadron 132 was injured in an "on-deck emergency" about 11 a.m. Friday, according to a statement from Naval Air Forces.

A Navy search-and-rescue helicopter rushed an undisclosed number to Harborview Medical Center for evaluation. The cause of the emergency is under investigation, Navy officials said.

Naval Air Forces has temporarily suspended flight operations for all F/A-18 E/F Super Hornets and E/A-18G Growlers as a safety precaution since they share common aircraft systems, according to the Navy statement.

The operational pause will allow both Naval Air Systems Command and engineers from Boeing, which manufactures both aircraft, time to investigate the incident, Navy officials said.

A Navy spokesman contacted by Navy Times on Saturday was unable to provide additional details on the incident or the extent of the crews' injuries.

So I guess we're not going to be playing the victim card after stealing our drone? This will get very interesting, and Trump will do something if Obama does not.

Obama's threats against the Russians are just so ridiculous, he's covering his own butt after a "stunning election loss", blame it on the Russians? blame it on Putin?? Hillary says its all because Putin is so "afraid of her"??? really???

I'm not gonna lie, she scared the Hell out of me!
