  1.  @deadsmoke198  Technology is not perfect nor are people Identification, friend or foe (IFF) systems have failed before During a engagement with a MIG-29, an F-15s IFF marked the MIG-29 as friendly despite the AWACS IDing it as hostile There are several cases were IFF has failed This is going to be interesting read because initial reports state the F-18 had just taken off from the ship so that eliminates the possibly that the F-18F was returning from a strike and was mistaken for hostile target as it approached the fleet

  3.  @SnakePliskin762  That combined with the ship turning is likely When the ship turned, its screen was blank, but once it repositioned, its picked up the F-18 at close range and the crew reacted due its proximity
