That would get it done.
No, it would not. A carrier group can send up a fighter to see who the hell it is.
Capt Rogers didn't have a VID. (He was also in a little surface action with Iranian patrol boats, which also isn't something a US CV has been doing lately).
Most importantly, US Navy ship CO's are taught a few lessons about that little thing that Vincennes did as they go through their command track. (It's a case study. )

Wolf, my fellow lupine, that was not even a nice try.
