    Rule 15 Rules of the road at sea. Crossing situation. When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel.

    I still don't understand how can war ships loaded with high tech weapons, missiles and guns, sailing as close as 60 miles to the other country's shore and said they have a right to do that. They said it's international water, but why do they carry weapons to go there.... going fishing?

    You can keep justifying your international water idea. But the whole world is watching who is bullying and sending wars.

    China plotting on taking second island chain and lobbing pre-emptive SBLM'S towards Alaska and west coast via Philippine Sea on the onset of Taiwan invasion.
  • Prayers to my brothers and sisters! May The waves be on your stern, may your Captains be of sound mind and skill. May our leaders not foolishly place you in Danger, and May God be with you!
