Man, I'd hate to be that Venezuelan Navy Captain having to account for the loss of his ship...

Oh, he was already there, so sorry.

Poetic justice me thinks
 There is a picture of the navy ship that sank in the article linked to below. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zon...einforced-hull

Lesson of the story: not every David wins against a Goliath.
How the captain of a ship of that fragile any tiny size can assume it is a good idea to intentionally collide with a crise shop of the size of the German one in the picture in the article I posted, is beyond me. More cohones than brains, maybe?

It would of been wiser to fire a couple of rounds across the cruise ships bow but hindsight is a luxury after the event.

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. |
