Navys

Navys are used to "show the flag".

We use the movement of our carrier fleets as political statements all the time.

And we've had a sizable force of ships parked off their coast for a number of years now.

What was that fleet they sent to the Red Sea? Two small ships and a submarine?

It's international waters - as long as they don't go around shooting down civilian airliners. I'm sure if they make it over here somebody will be keeping a close eye on them - I hope.
