GPS spoofing?

There is still the visual element of actually seeing whats around you even at night when at a minimum every vessel would be showing navigation lights.

If GPS signals were being tampered with then why is it only the US Navy that is crashing everyone works off the same 3 satellite groups even my little vehicle GPS is accurate within a few meters.

If it is only specific to US warships and Russia has found a way compromise their GPS then the whole US war machine is in big trouble for it is not only shipping that relies on GPS but the air force and ground troops as well.
