"In the 1986 Black Sea incident on 13 March the American cruiser USS Yorktown and the destroyer USS Caron, claiming the right of innocent passage, entered the Soviet territorial waters near the southern Crimean Peninsula. The warships passed within six miles of the Soviet coast, where they were soon confronted by the Soviet frigate Ladny.[1] "
How do I know it's bullshit? Well for starters, it happened again with one of the same ships two years later ...

"The Black Sea bumping incident of 12 February 1988 occurred when American cruiser USS Yorktown tried to exercise the right of innocent passage through Soviet territorial waters in the Black Sea during the Cold War."
And ... think about it - what if the situation was reversed and Russian ships were within a few miles of Florida or California? Why it'd be considered a prelude to invasion by the right-wing.
