It was a sign that Iranian ships were not safe even outside the Persian Gulf and Straits of Hormuz. It was a warning that Iranian military assets anywhere in the world were fair game, and the Department of War was not going to play the sad old game we've practiced since the Korean War of granting our enemies sanctuaries where we refuse to attack them.
"But, as predictable as night following day, was the left claiming the attack was a "war crime." Since Trump came into office, every military action has been declared a "war crime." Operation Midnight Hammer was a war crime. Snatching Maduro was a war crime. Chastising Iran was a war crime. And so, of course, sinking an enemy warship also had to be a war crime.

Plus, it says, "During the sea phase, exercises such as aircraft carrier operations, anti-submarine warfare, air defense, naval gunnery, search and rescue operations, and multinational tactical maneuvers will be conducted." This implies shooting at stuff.
"None of that matters because being out of ammo doesn't get you a "get-out-of-jail-free" card, and any country stupid enough to send a warship to sea without ammo deserves whatever befalls it." . . . Full article with links here.
