My first vessel I was stationed aboard in the United States Navy was the USS Chandler, Guided Missile Destroyer, DDG-996. At the time it was a state of the art vessel. Today's Destroyers are more advanced, and are awesome warships when compared to my now de-commissioned Chandler.
The USS John McCain is one such vessel. The John McCain is a true Naval warship, and it is headed toward North Korea.
The U.S. Navy has been instructed to intercept a North Korean ship that is believed to be hauling weapons material that is in violation of a United Nations resolution.
This decision follows the threats by North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Il, that any search and seizure will be viewed as an act of war.
Has Obama decided to call North Korea's bluff? Is it a bluff?
The USS John McCain is the same navy destroyer that was being shadowed by the Chinese recently.
