Russia claimed one of its warships on Friday forced a U.S. Navy destroyer to abandon what it said was an attempt to intrude into its territorial waters in the Sea of Japan.
Video released by the Russian ministry of defense appears to show the moment its anti-submarine vessel Admiral Tributs closed to within 60 yards of the U.S. destroyer USS Chafee in Peter the Great Gulf, to the south of Vladivostok.
But the account was disputed by U.S. officials who said the interaction was 'safe and professional,' according to Fox News.

China and Russia are conducting joint drills in the area.

Who commands the USS Chafee? Could it be yet another Obama female captain? Lucky for her she did not collide with the Russian vessle.
