Watching CNN this morning & saw this image involving a Russian Naval ship & American Naval ship narrowly missing a collision in Pacific Ocean.

Of course the CNN talking heads don't have the foggiest idea about what they are talking about.
Reportedly, Americans were advancing on a steady course on maneuvers with helicopter landings. The image shows the Russian ship aimed at the starboard side of the American ship and turning to avoid collision.
So it looks to me that the Russian ship deliberately chose a course where it is difficult to determine if the ship is overtaking from astern or actually in the stand-on zone on starboard. It seems like it could be intentional to choose a course where stand-on vs give-way could be questionable.
What do you think?
