I've been watching the TV show. In any case, a small boat is no threat
to a big ship.

Captains Richard Phillips (MV Maersk Alabama) and Kirk Lippold (USS
Cole) would think otherwise.

You're claiming that the WW boat was intent on holding the Japanese crew
and cargo hostage?? That's your argument?

Of course not. *I was responding specifically to your comment. * I really
don't read all the posts here much anymore .... just skim through them.
Your comment caught my attention.

Carry on. * It's entertaining. *Particularly your argument that the WW
boat was "moving slowly".
Have you ever considered the amount of released energy involved when a
vessel weighing many tons
comes to a stop in time=zero, even at "slow" speeds?

Not sure what the released energy has to do with following international
law? Perhaps you can clarify.
