Default Cat capsize off oregon coast

A modern blue water trimaran might well have livable space while inverted,
but I'm not confident of finding any inside my cat should she flip, as awash
as she would be.
Still, it would be better awash than deep and getting deeper.

119 days in capsized trimaran Rose Noelle.

After four months adrift in the South Pacific in 1989, the survivors were
in such relatively good health that at first their story was disbelieved.
Though upside down and half-submerged, their boat was well made. Its
captain, John Glennie, a shrewd old salt, and his three
companions--including Nalepka, an Outward Bound guide and the sole
American--had originally set out from New Zealand for Tonga, and after
capsizing they made living quarters in a compartment in the hull the size
of a double bed with 18 inches of head- room.

When American Citizens with dual citizenship pledges allegiance
to the flag, to which flag do they pledge allegiance too?
