Farragut sounded five short blasts, the international maritime signal for danger of a collision, and requested the Russian ship alter course in accordance with international rules of the road.pic.twitter.com/OGCeAGKOy3

The Russian ship initially refused but ultimately altered course and the two ships opened distance from one another.

While the Russian ship took action, the initial delay in complying with international rules while it was making an aggressive approach increased the risk of collision. The U.S. Navy continues to remain vigilant and is trained to act in a professional manner.

The destroyer of the U.S. Navy, being on the left course of the Russian warship moving forward, on January 9, 2020, grossly violated international rules for preventing collisions of ships at sea, having made a maneuver to cross its course.
