I think any inbound missile is hostile! 
Radar: Missile inbound Sir, 30 miles off and closing fast. Should activate the CIWS?
Skipper: Nahh, itīs one of our missing Harpoons. Maybe went lost and itīs coming home to be fired again.
PS: No offense, just a joke.  |
What about TLAMs fired by own/allied forces for example, that just fly in your direction but are ment to hit land based targets? |
A 900 km/h cilinder, containing half ton of explosives, coming my way is always hostile!
Or at least, in that position, Iīm gonna to shot first and ask later.
Skipper: I shot down a couple of TLAMīs heading my way.
Admiral: Those TLAMīs were destined to hit a camel butt (GWB joke)! Just coming near your ship in one of the legs of the journey.
Skipper: Ahhh, my mistake. Program the missiles for other heading next time.
Admiral: Ok, sorry if we frighteng you.
Skipper: No problem, kisses for everyone. Bye.
Admiral: bye.
