Look, anybody with experience at ship boardings could tell you this was a guaranteed FUBAR cluster-foxtrot to board the ships with commandos. 100% guaranteed FUBAR, on film.

Totally stupid, when covert technical means could have been used to disable the ships’ propellers.

You overlook the most important criteria for the operation.

That is, to take possession of the vessels, the cargo and passengers and bring all to the desired port under absolute control and in accord with precedent and established procedure.

Mere stopping the vessels was not the objective
