Set Condition 3 throughout the ship. The smoking lamp is out. All gunners mates to their general quarters stations. Make preparations to darken ship.

Can you tell me where I can go to view this information?

I have wondered why the British Captain let his men be captured. You would think that he would/could/should have started firing right away. Sounds like a Pueblo to me...

A warship flying the UN flag would not be be stocked with ammo, would not permit any side arms or long guns on deck, not have more than 4 hours of fuel.

It would never leave New York City under its own power because of the severe listing to the port side.

As a matter of fact it would probably be declared a HAZMAT area by the NY Port Authority.
