When asked how US Navy Commanders could respond to Iranian harrassment, the Chief of Naval Operations said "Nothing limits the way they can respond," leaving kinetic, or shooting solutions to this problem firmly on the table.
At a recent conference at theCenter for American Progress, Chief of Naval Operations John M. Richardson discussed at length naval operations in Asia and the Pacific, touching on how he'd like to deal with the Iranian navy, which has made a habit of harassing US Navy ships in the Persian Gulf.
Throughout the conference, Richardson praised the Code of Unplanned Encounters at Sea (CUES) that has helped Chinese and US naval vessels operate safely and at a distance in the South China Sea.
