How are they to know that it's already been captured. They could be well within their rights to board and confiscate it and put the UK sailors in jail for drug smuggling. And if there is some agreement so that this situation doesn't happen, what's to stop some smugglers doing the same with the connivence of their country's navy. Or does that just become all out war of our navy against tinpot dictator navy?<br /><br />And then we get into the whole anti-drugs aspect and the huge cost. I bet the cost of navies stopping ships is not factored into the cost of the war on drugs. What next since the new puritan bansturbators are looking for new targets.
