Just goes to show how gullable people are.
It was actually a bomb planted in the shipyard. We plant them on all the Russian and Chinese ships. Got carried away and detonated by accident.
Sometimes it is hard to tell what their intentions are, being so poorly trained and the ships being so noisy and failure prone. If in doubt we just go ahead and blow them up. If we could just get more linguists so we can translate what we listen to over the microphones that we plant when we plant the bombs this would probably happen less.
Personally I am for planting smaller explosives to just disable the power plants. I mean we shouldn't take advantage of them just because we are so far more advanced. Right?
