Are you referring to the Vincennes disaster? What sort of medals were given can you pls send link to source. This was the A300 shot down by an Aegis cruiser. I remember that. I recall Captain being retired. Not medalswell if they want to copy USA , they had to give him that medal as USA gave a plethora of various medals to their navy crew who shoot down a civilian passenger planes in international air corridors while they were in another country territorial water in defiance of their commanding officer direct orders
did SOP include entering Iran territorial water, where he was ordered to be stationed before he went to help non-existent and fictional Liberian ship inside Iranian territorial water and then engaged Iranian boats .What order?
The only order that was made and I was aware of is Adm Mckenna ordered Rogers to disengage with the Iranian gunboat and form up with the US escort ship USS Elmer Montgomery
Problem is, that order is counteract with SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) which is to engage the Iranian asset if and when you were fired upon, that SOP have started since USS Stark Incident, and in this case, you ALWAYS follow SOP instead of commander order, if one is contradict the other. Mckenna does not have the authority to change the SOP, that have to come from Joint Chief of Staff or CNO, which mean Mckenna's order would have less weight than the SOP.
So, Rogers did NOT disobey a direct order.
It did actually.did SOP include entering Iran territorial water, where he was ordered to be stationed before he went to help non-existent and fictional Liberian ship inside Iranian territorial water and then engaged Iranian boats .
it was his habit to disregard other countries territorial water and as example before the incident he entered into Oman territorial water and when asked to leave he and his officers laughed at Omani navy officer
he retired years later , he received a legion of merit and The air warfare coordinator on duty received Navy Commendation MedalAre you referring to the Vincennes disaster?
