USS Spruance uses deck gun in ship seizure

The US Navy destroyer USS Spruance forcibly stopped and seized the Iranian-flagged cargo ship 'Tosca' after it attempted to breach the US naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. The engagement marked the first time in nearly four decades that a US Navy ship has used its deck gun to strike another vessel in an act of hostility. The ship was reportedly carrying specialized feedstock for Iran's ballistic missile program. The incident underscores the heightened tensions and direct military enforcement of the US blockade against Iran.
