Venezuelan Warship Shoots, Rams Into German Cruise Vessel Before Sinking
2nd April 2020
A Venezuelan navy ship fired shots at a German-owned cruise ship on March 30 and rammed into the passenger vessel, leading to the sinking of the warship in the Caribbean.
The Iranian regime-allied Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro accused the captain of the RCGS RESOLUTE cruise ship of “terrorism and piracy” and sought to force the ship into a new direction on the high seas. The cruise ship, which had no passengers on board and was flying under a Portuguese flag, has a reinforced hull that enables it to sail through ice water.
Oops.

As they say, you have to pick your battles. They chose poorly.

But how often does a captain get to yell the order, “Ramming speed!”
Do you suppose there’s a folder at Annapolis titled, “Battle Tactics of the Venezuelan Navy”?
