Silkworm Incident 1991

I never heard that before Navaleye. Care to elaborate.

I did here that the USN CG47 that was supposed to be on duty had been deliberately misreporting its position following the Princeton hitting a mine, not sure how true that is. Supposedly it was proceeding more slowly up the Gulf than it was supposed to be to avoid the mine threat.
