an unusual occurrence of the most lethal gunship aloft, complete with
IR and synthetic radars and engine heat suppressors, circling not very

That alone may be the reason, a busy seaport,

just the thought or hint of a threat of a small boat running loose
among the shipping could have brought a heightened state of readiness.

If you would have looked, there probably was a larger number of CG
small craft patrol boats as well..in the water ways..

There may have been not even a threat, may have been an excercise..
