      Unless they are pirates, like legitimately pirates and not just a socialist government, all vessels over a certain tonnage have a legal responsibility to rescue floaters. However since it was an unarmed vessel full of civilians, it couldn't gaurantee the ability maintain security of force (the ability to maintain authority of individuals by force of power) and couldn't guarantee safety of civilians, which takes priority at sea over protection POWs.
      Wierdly enough the "I have Civilians abroad" card is a legitimate reason to leave enemy sailors in the water and is one of the reasons most navies have civilian contractors abroad in non combat roles because holy shit is it hard to keep prisoners on a vessel.
      I think most air craft carriers can only reasonably keep like 50 POWs without support outside of normal fleet operations

    It’s a wonder the Venezuelan Navy didn’t try to accuse them of piracy. I’ve had a few run-in’s with Venezuelan navy vessels in past years (I used to captain a 95 foot yacht in a charter business, and sailed those waters frequently.) Their navy is a joke, but a dangerous and scary one. Once, they even tried to board us, well into international waters, but I managed to outrun them in the direction of a U.S. Navy ship. I had a U.S. home port/registration and flew a U.S. flag, so I knew if I could get within 25 nautical miles of a U.S. Navy ship, they wouldn’t dare touch us. Scary stuff!

      Honestly it seems like that Venezuelan navy ship was crewed my cadets fresh out of basic. Firing on an unarmed civilian vessel unprovoked is very unprofessional. However thats just the tip of the iceberg, the real thing that made my jaw drop is, if we take the Venezuelan navy's word for it that they tried to sail in front of the cruise ship, then that is just peak stupidity. There are plenty of golden rules when it comes to operating ships, one of them is never suddenly turn in front of another vessel unless its anchored and in place or you have plenty of room to avoid a collusion. Ships aren't like cars, they don't stop on a dime, if you pull in front of another ship, even if its crew reacts instantly, goes full revers, tried to alter their own vessels course to avoid yours and even drops anchor in a desperate bid to slow down as fast as possible, the process still takes time and in the mean time physics continue to do their thing and that ship will keep moving. So it really dumb that the Venezuelan Navy ship though sailing in front of another ship without warning at such close range was actually a smart idea.

No way in hell a bulky cruise ship with a heavily armored (and thus very heavy) bow is gonna pull up on a lightly armored patrol ship like that, not unless Ken Fucking Block was the captain and the engine bay was hiding a bottle of nitrous oxide and half a million dollars of Hoonigan merch.

    The Portuguese accident report stated that neither vessel was responsible for deliberately ramming the other, but raised the possibility that the Naiguata's excessively close approach created a suction effect that drew the cutter into the Resolute's bow. Basically paranoia plus incompetence led to the unintentional self-sinking of a relatively new patrol boat.

    I would love to see you cover the Dogger Incident which took place during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. In the leadup to the Battle of Tsushima, a Russian fleet was sailing past Britain, headed to Japan to confront the Japanese. The Russians had heard fictitious reports of Japanese torpedo boats operating in the area and were on high alert. In the Dogger Bank incident, the Russian fleet mistook a group of British fishing trawlers operating near the Dogger Bank at night for hostile Japanese ships. The fleet fired upon the small civilian vessels, killing several British fishermen; one trawler was sunk while another six were damaged. In confusion, the Russians even fired upon two of their own vessels, killing some of their own men. The subsequent Battle of Tsushima saw the Imperial Japanese Navy humiliate the Russians in one of the most decisive battles in naval history.
