I'm guessing the VN skipper didn't know about the strengthened bow and had a generally low opinion of civilian ship construction and maybe an overinflated belief in the strength of his own tub. He probably should have gone down with her. I'll bet there is a short trial and a bullet to the back of the head awaiting him in Caracas.
