I'm not sure what incident you're referring to. e.g. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r2oaQWmqkk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r2oaQWmqkk, there's no swooping, and no indication that the ship was "on maneuvers." Navy ships and aircraft can't help being near commercial aircraft much of the time, and vice versa, since flight paths crisscross the whole world.
But whether they "deserve to be shot down" or not (a highly questionable moral position I think), it would be pragmatically unwise to do so. You will either create a domestic political crisis that will shake up the whole military, or an international incident, depending on the carrier.
- ncmncm 5y agoNobody said "deserve to be shot down", so the quote marks are at best disingenuous. Since I unambiguously referred to an incident reported when naval ships were on maneuvers, you imagine some entirely other time, place, and circumstance. I will leave my response to your speculative moralizing to the reader's imagination.
