You're in a war where the existance of your country is at stake. You scramble. You're told its an enemy ship. You don't see a flag and you misread the marking. The ship is located exactly where reported and there's not another one in site.

For everyone else the "fog of war" is OK but it can't be here?
I never ruled out fog of war, in fact I think that's the most likey explanation by a wide margin.
I was elaborating your point, not questioning you.
Sorry, fog of war got me. Just assumed the Avon Lady was being argumentative.
