If the vessel were armed, it would require naval personnel to man it. There is not enough berthing and crew space for this, besides, the captain of the vessel is a civilian, contracted by MSC.

I understand that full well...but since it is doing a rather overt military intelligence job of tracking potential agressor submarines...I personally believe it warrants it. They could have a small security attachemnt for either 50s or the 25mm.
