Was it in international waters or territorial waters there?

Would be nice if other people started randomly firing on american ships as a bit of revenge too.

Imagine the fuss they'd kick up if the situation was reversed and an egyptian or iranian vessel shot at and killed someone on an america boat.....

Makes no difference whatsoever whether it was in territorial or international waters. You don't approach a military warship or transport of any nation unless invited to do so, particularly when warning flares and shots are fired.

This is a classic example of why not: USS Cole bombing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
