Summary:
German cruise ship sitting in int’l waters doing engine maintenance.
Venezuelan warship approaches, says “eyyyy whatchu doin esse? You not supposed to be ‘ere, you better follow us back to Venezuela if you know what’s good for you homes.”
German ship capt doesn’t do shite.
Venezuelan Warship gets impatient, fires on the boat and tries to ram it to push the bow toward Venezuelan waters.
Sinks from the damage of ramming.

German cruise ship was rated for ice waters, sustained minor scrapes. Left the sinking Venezuelan ship and headed out.

When I read the title, I thought the German cruise ship sank and was like OMG. This would be funny except for the poor Venezuelan sailors.

I recently learned that the Germans attempted a colony in Venezuela.

Klein-Venedig

They should step up and colonize them again.

guess not

This was a big battle, probably engaged at least a third of each of their navies


excuse me, it was a German cruise ship, oh well, once pressed into service it would be a third of their navy probably

I hope that the German capt stood on the deck and flipped them off and laughed at them as he pulled away.

So synopsis of this is a cruise ship sank a Venezuelan warship?

Talk about being the butt of the jokes at the next OPEC meeting.

“Hey. Yea. This is Nicholas... no guys I’m not coming in on a paper airplane. Hey... ummm.. Vladimir isn’t gonna be there is he?”

I laughed out loud, kind of spit up a bit. I came into it thinking the German Ship sank, and then to read the outcome it was funny plot twist and makes so much more sense. and the comment about Venezuelan Warship sounds intimidating

Even the Argentinians fought better vs a Cruise Ship than this, and they got stomped by a British cruise ship, during Falkland Islands events.

When I first read the thread title I thought wow German Cruiser but now I'm wondering if the cruise ship will paint an x over a Venezuelan warship on their bridge.
