I posted this in another thread, but it is an important point so I wanted more people to see it. I must say that the attitude on this web site toward people who put their lives at risk to protect Americans is quite disappointing. Especially when it comes from fellow veterans. Is the intention of p…

Which Flag State would you write to re: Rule 20? What would you tell them, or ask them? Maybe you can ask them to ensure that it is possible to tell a Cruise ship’s “pretty lights” and movie screens from their Navlight. That would at least make some sense. Maybe you could better post your opinion…

For those curious, that’s the Nigerian Navy ship Thunder NNS F90. That is the former US Coast Guard Cutter Chase (WHEC 718), a 1960s Hamilton-class cutter, a 378’ ship that’s dual-powered (turbine and diesel). I don’t know what happened here, but the Coast Guard hands these ships over to the purcha…
