I think any inbound missile is hostile!

Radar: Missile inbound Sir, 30 miles off and closing fast. Should activate the CIWS?

Skipper: Nahh, it´s one of our missing Harpoons. Maybe went lost and it´s 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, I´m gonna to shot first and ask later.

Skipper: I shot down a couple of TLAM´s heading my way.

Admiral: Those TLAM´s 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.
