Good story, but not what gunboat diplomacy is. What they did was a preemptive strike. Gunboat diplomacy is when you park a battle group nearby, and negotiate. No explicite threat, but a heavily implied "do what we want, or we will do it for you". (Talk softly but carry a big stick.) Think of the schoolyard bully saying "I think it would be a good idea if you gave me your lunch money". Preemptive strike is where he just beats you up then takes your wallet.

When I hear of mankind, I Only hear of 1/3 capabilities of mankind that capabilities that You Don't give man credit for the capabilities the navy has today and share with all armed forces of the us of America. And this is America's US navy. That did this for the US. American armed forces acceptability. You cannot say that humans have that they do have Today To what the capabilities man he has. If someone comes with a force filled around the ship called a shield, God helped them how to take them 1 second before they destroyed. And that's if the only come with 350 ships. 3000 ships would take 6 Seto destroy all of them. There won't even be Adam's left. And the worst part is I only told you 1/4 of the American's ability. Of destruction of weapons capability power. And the worst part about it is that's only from one gun. That could shoot at 350 targets every millisecond or actually every 3 Milliseconds. With one and a 1/2 millisecond cool down. Before it shoots off as laser hotter than the surface of a sun at 350 targets each with just one gun. They said the use the new Gun in the next war on enothing what better stand against the United States of America!
