Exclusive video by Global News captured the moment a Chinese warship came close to hitting an American destroyer in international waters of the South China Sea.
I think that's accurate given the actual size of these ships and their sluggishness and inertia. Its actually less than one ship length of the Burke destroyer here.
Still, pretty hyperbolic headline that can be interpreted as China opening fire on the ships and nearly missing, or nearly ramming their ships. In reality, they strafed by in a parallel direction.

If we're being honest with ourselves, I can see some sea captain getting cocky and going for a close pass from any country or culture.
China is coming up as the big super power, they can have a few military goofs and gaffs as a treat.
