I trust the printed research of well-established naval experts. Sorry.


I am well acquainted with naval law. However, you and I know very well that the US plays by its own rules (look at the Cuban Missile crisis for an example). Bluster aside, there is no way that the US government would stand by and allow the Russians to tow one of their boats into port, regardless of how right the Russians were.

This is a question of international politics, not operating procedures.
