wrote: I may have misunderstood - correct me if I'm wrong - but are you saying the escort aircraft would allow (or escort) the Soviet aircraft close to the aircraft carrier so it could take pictures rather than escorting it away from any ships? If so, why? How could they possibly prevent this? It's international waters in peacetime. The Soviet aircraft has just as much right to be there as the carrier does. The only way to positively stop an aircraft from going somewhere is to shoot it down, which is generally a Bad Idea in peacetime. -- Andrew Toppan --- --- "I speak only for myself" "Haze Gray & Underway" - Naval History, DANFS, World Navies Today, Photo Features, Military FAQs, and more - http://www.hazegray.org/
