Not at all what happened
USS Ramage (DDG 61) firing a 5-inch gun in 2008.
Destroyer accidentally fires on Polish port
Three 7.62 rounds from an M240 machine gun equals “fired on Polish port.”
The crew of the destroyer Ramage was doing “routine maintenance” to the ship in the port of Gdynia when a sailor inadvertently fired the burst from one of the warship’s M240 machine guns, the official said.
Thankfully, no one was hurt.

Rooskie journalism hasn’t lost a step.
