That’s where the armory would come into play. In port or non-international waters, the arms could be locked up. The ship itself is always deemed sovereign US territory, no matter where it is located.

no i´m sorry but you are wrong. the ship is not US territory once you enter the territory waters of a forreing country. same as if you would drive your car to canada for example. once you enter a country you are a US citizen who is “guest” in a forreign country and you will have to obey to the laws of this country. try saying a police officer in canada you will not search my car because this is US territory :-) you will earn a good laught while he will search your car that´s all. same goes for ships. so if this kind of weapons are against this countries law they will not care if you have locked them up in an armory or carry them in the open. the result will be the same. you will get arrested because you commited a crime in this country. i will give you another example. i live in austria. so i can get in my car drive to the city of amsterdam (netherlands) and legal can buy and smoke as much pot as i want because it´s legal there. but once i leave the country i will get arrested if i try to take my “totally legal buyed pot” with me back to my country. because in my country it´s against the law to have pot.
