What message? Iran knows that the U.S. could easily sink the Behshad. It's a slow vessel in international waters with virtually no defensive capability. And it's not like we haven't sent them the message that we want them to stop supporting the Houthis. There's no reason to think they'd change their tactics based on a flyby.

Biden's Just The Tip foreign policy places US Servicemen and women in harm's way for no reason. They sit there and await the next terror group that wants to use them for target practice. A supersonic flyby would likely blow out windows and damage most of the systems that ship uses to locate and track targets. In other words, disable its war functions without firing a shot.
