Another incident in the Strait of Hormuz
Another incident occurred in the Strait of Hormuz this Monday evening (10 May). Thirteen Iranian Revolutionary Guards speedboats approached an American naval convoy passing through the Strait at high speed. The ships included the Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine USS Georgia and the Ticonderoga cruiser Monterey. Despite signals from the ship's siren and repeated requests to turn away by radio and loudspeaker, the boats came within 140 metres of the ships. It was only after a US Coast Guard cutter, which was also part of the convoy, fired two salvos totalling 30 shots that the boats turned and moved away.
