Is it a war crime?

Anteater and Khayman,

Your responses were very informative. Thanks. I suppose a drop in the bucket rational applies--and contribution to the war time economy makes it fair game. It is one I am not sure I agree with, however.... Given that these vessels had orders to report enemy sightings, that justifies it further.
I think if Nuremberg backed down, that says a lot. I have explained how I take great exception to how Nuremberg played out. The conviction of Kurt Meyer, Karl Doenitz, Albert Speer, to name just a few, belie the courts false Siegerjustiz. That even the Nuremberg tribunal could not trump up charges based on the sinking of these targets eliminates any question whatsoever. They are fair game.
