The USN has said before that it considers aircraft approaching within
10 miles of the career valid targets for attack. However, that's in a
combat zone, probably not much would happen while steaming out of
Pearl. The Navy has shot down at least one airliner who got too close
to a task group in the middle east. It was the subject of an
investigation, not sure what happened with that though. The plane was
also on the wrong transponder code.
