IRANIAN MILITARY BOARDED MARSHALL ISLANDS-FLAGGED CARGO SHIP



From Wiki on Marshall Islands:


quote:

Politically, the Marshall Islands is a presidential republic in free association with the United States, with the US providing defense, subsidies, and access to social services. With few natural resources, the islands' wealth is based on a service economy, as well as some fishing and agriculture; aid from the United States represents a large percentage of the islands' gross domestic product. The country uses the United States dollar as its currency.


does this technically classify as a US ship?

Warren said the cargo ship issued a distress call and U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, based in the area, sent a U.S. destroyer and an aircraft to the area of the incident to monitor the situation.

US ships taking that route did have embark security from naval expeditionary forces. Don't know if we laxed on this due to the budget cuts. But if same policy as a few years ago then we would be hearing much more if Iran fired on a us cargo ship under the protection of embark secueity. usual load out is 4 .50 cals mounted forward and aft with two m240s roaming. Plus COG's usually have a M30. Those boats Iran usually had out there are more for annoyance and would get shredded if provoked.

I wonder if OP is ever going to come back and update his post since the situation has obviously developed from what he originally posted???
