The question was about Soviet-made ships, not necessarily just Soviet Navy vessels. The only incidents that I can think of are the US Navy sinkings of Libyan patrol boats (these were Osa class, weren't they?) in the 1980s. Several vessels were sunk by carrier-based aircraft. I would like to hear from someone who is more knowledgeable (sp?) about this. -- Jeff Medcalf jkmedcal@uokmax.{uucp|ecn.uoknor.edu} !chinet!uokmax!jkmedcal BoB smokes *my* pipe!
