Since when does the US exert jurisdiction over vessels sailed outside the
limits of US territorial waters? Seems to me the regulations of the
proposed destinations would be of more interest.

Since, if the vessel is US Flagged, or Registered, it falls under US
Jurasdiction, by ITU Regulations, that state, ALL Ships MUST have a
Country of Registration, of Flag. This makes any ship NOT Flagged, a
PIRATE.. and open for boarding and subsequent sezure.... by ANY Coutry,
or Jurasdiction....
