I thought I did that.
I said that Rule 18 says: ( -: nothing about it :- )

Yes!

Did you see in any of my new diagrams it listed?

No - you gave too much information to be useful.

No you didn't because it says nothing
about it in the rule. It never says NUC keep clear of RAM or vice versa. Another reason I say
they're equal.

All you did before was give rule 18 in list form - you didn't actually
say how it differed from the pecking order. Also, saying that they
appear very similar in Rule 3 is not the same as saying they are
handled the same in Rule 18. Now you have, congratulations.

So, if you insist on having a complete list it should look like this:

NUC RAM
________
CBD
FISH
SAIL
POWER
SEAPLANE
WIG

Yes, that would be a better representation of the pecking order. You
may note the Neal actually said, "A NUC is the stand-on vessel above
all the rest" which is patently false. This is my first "flaw," now
you may be ready to find the next.


But rule 18 never says that. It says what I said in my new stand on/give way list. It doesn't give a
complete list.

Why do you call this a "stand on/give way" list?
