RTFP, mate! My point was simply that aircraft flying on international flight plans on international air routes do not have to seek confirmation from some USN boat floating about on seas thousands of miles away from America in order to continue with their lawful activity.

Whether the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Mediterranean or the Hyde Park Serpentine is of little consequence. The US has no legitimate right to 'warn airliners of misidentification'. If the USN is so incompetent that it cannot identify lawful air traffic in international airspace, then it should Foxtrot Oscar elsewhere!
