Answer 2

Answer 3

I don't think so.  International waters means that there could be lots of intervention from others.

Answer 4

Absolutely not.

Internation law applications need appeasement.  Try:

Johnston Atoll.  One of the sunny minor islands, I think,

where they can be left to fend for themselves after legal

sentence of lifetime imprisonment without parole.  Then,

its fish or cut bait, isn't it?  After the last are so placed we

can start off-loading our own capital crime felons there

for good measure.  As reader can discover, there are  excellent boat & boating prospects at Johnston Atoll.

Answer 5

Not likely to keep them " forever " on board. At some point they should set them adrift in a zodiac and do some target practice. Naw, that might damage the zodiac.

Seriously, why should the Navy want to keep them onboard an active warship? We have too many other places we can keep them out of the way and it doesn't cost as much.

Answer 6

And just what does this have to do with "Boats and Boating"?

OH, OH, Navy ships, I get it!

Answer 7

Geneva convention aside, US Navy ship is, under international law, US territory, same as a US civilian ship or plane. No matter what waters or airport it's in/at. That applies to any country's ship or plane.

Answer 8

Yes the US can do anything they want. The Geneva convention doesn't apply to the US anymore. We don't classify people as enemy soldiers so we aren't bound by laws.
