We Are In Pursuit Of A Third Venezuelan Tanker, They Are Resisting

The US has attempted to intercept a third oil tanker linked to Venezuela in less than two weeks, with the Coast Guard reportedly in “active pursuit” of a vessel in international waters in the Caribbean Sea, according to American officials cited by Reuters and other outlets.
quote:
US officials claimed the ship is sailing under a false flag and is therefore subject to a judicial seizure order, describing it as part of Venezuela’s “dark fleet” used to evade Washington’s unilateral sanctions.
quote:
Officials have yet to identify the vessel, but according to media reports, the tanker now being chased is the Bella 1, which has previously been sanctioned for transporting Iranian oil. US officials said the ship refused to submit to boarding and continued sailing, prompting what one official described as an “active pursuit.”

This could get very spicy, very quick.
Side note... there needs to be a Dan Abrams show about this.

Hope they are ready to board more aggressively, subduing any who resist.

Will they win or will we win?

Does the Coast Guard have special forces?

Don't know why we're wasting time even pursuing...
Just unleash Dreamy Double Tap.

A torpedo into the engine area of the stern should solve this issue

Actually, about 15 years the Coast Guard had personnel become SEALs, after a few years they decided to just transfer them over to the Navy.
They do have TACLET teams embarked on Navy ships to conduct maritime boardings.
However, if they are in pursuit of this tanker that probably has a maximum speed of 13-15 knots I’m surprised they haven’t gotten to it yet.

They are a decent bit faster than that. Hull speed in the 20kt + range for long vessels like that.

Don't even need that. Could use prop foulers instead.
