I never seen any reason not to trust NBC, but if you're nervous about them just Google your favorite news outlet and "drones destroyers california." Perhaps you trust these folks.

Drones that hovered around US warships in 2019 remain mystery, top Navy officer says

The Navy’s top officer has revealed that the branch still hasn’t identified the drones that reportedly swarmed around three U.S. destroyers off the coast of Southern California for several days in July 2019.

Just wondering if you were flying a drone near a battle ship (like 200ft distance and height) or aircraft carrier do you think they would shoot you down

Reader's Digest version - Fly your drone within 3000' horizontally of a USN vessel and you're subject to civil and criminal charges and your drone is subject to destruction.

I am a 30-year Air Force Veteran and as one who has seen the "working end" of an enemy's weapon, I would not; especially, in today's world's climate, stop with shooting down just your drone… You get my drift?

If you did fly a Drone around a military installation (ship, base, fort, facility, etc…) it probably would not be shot down, unless they could positively identify it as an immediate treat since anything they fire at it would have to come down and cause more damage or even death to a civilian population.

Why on Earth would you even want to play with a Drone around a military ship? Do you have some sadistic streak in your to make our service members fear for their lives.

Is your memory so short that you do not remember the USS Cole being attacked by Muslim militants in the Yemeni port of Aden?

It's thinking and acting like this are the reasons that Drones are finding fewer and fewer places to fly.

I haven't seen anyone here suggest that they wanted to fly illegally near military vessels or facilities.

I remember the attack on USS Cole very well. The repairs were done in the shipyard 15 miles from my house. It was a chilling sight.

Thank you for your service! I’m just curious from videos I’ve seen on YouTube of people doing that.

The OP in the original posting wanted to know if "we" thought that a (his) drone would be shot down if it (he) flew it within 200' of a naval vessel. The OP did not say that they intended to do that but the mere question suggests that it was a thought and I wanted to express my thoughts that it would not be a good idea in any shape or form.

When service members are charged with the safekeeping of lives and equipment, and they have the means to stop a threat, it's never a good idea to "tease" them. Too often, the imagination can run away and "regrettable" counter-action could be taken.

As I said in my previous posting, "in today's world's climate," why would anyone even suggest, "playing games" with our military.

Just saying…

I didn’t know it was offensive to not clarify that I do not intent to do this but if someone else did. I am sorry for the confusion and do not want to cause any further issues.

I’m just curious from videos I’ve seen on YouTube of people doing that.

How many videos have we seen of folks flying their Drones to thousands of feet, even higher than the clouds, or flying their Drones until they drop from exhausted/drained batteries (sometimes to the point of becoming unrecoverable…).

And then there are those idiots who fly their Drones over all manner of emergencies, just to get that video or photo for their Facebook or TikTok posting. It's the same type of folks who hold up there cell phones an tablets at weddings and such, blocking the view of everyone behind them.

I cannot tell you how many folks have complained that I was blocking their view because they want to record some event, when they said, "Do you mind, I'm trying to film this?" I simply reply, "I do not mind you filming it, as long as you do not mind me watching it…" And I stand my ground, and have more often than not had nearby folks say, "Thank you, I would like to see it also…"
