The local Navy liaison officers should in conduction with the local coast guard folks post flyers regarding do's n donut's when operating pleasure craft in the vicinity of military/civilian support vessels....and make big simple posters available at all marinas and piers...I wonder if they were trying to out run the ship and cross it's bow?? Most of us know this is a no-no, and to give way when any military vessel, US or otherwise approaches....apparently these poor fellows didn't...and one wouldn't expect them to....
