Who was scanning the horizon on deck? You’re fired.

Very expensive toy to crash into a fishing trawler...someone will now spend time on the beach.

A collision at sea can ruin your whole day. Not to mention your career.

The good news is that it wasn't a Nork fishing boat.
Maybe a subtle message to the Norks.

Little boats should stay away from little boats.
Reminds me of the joke about a light house radio to a ship at sea ... "I am a light house ..... You change YOUR course 15 degrees ... I ain't MOVIN' "

OOPS
Little boats should stay away from BIG boats.
Usually I can figure out how and / or why I typo'd but THAT one escapes me.

No more fishing for those guys. Easy Street from here on in; there’ll be big $$ in their future.

We have a 40 foot sailboat and have crossed many shipping lanes. I’ll guarantee you we stay out of their way. Number 1 they can’t see you until it’s too late
Number 2 They have no brakes

with all the devises to protect Navy ships these days, I find this hard to believe - but do believe.
The next time they collide with a fishing boat it might not be a fishing boat, but a boat filled with explosives designed to sink the warship.

Thats the kind of accident you just cut off a finger and say it was “crushed.” You can live well without a finger. Especially when Uncle Sam is paying the rent.

Amazing how many comments we will get making so many assumptions.
To: sheana
I thought as much.
Besides, ANYthing painted military gray and sporting a bow gun is probably someone that would tell me what they were going to do.
That last line is an old trucker's line (I am retired trucker) ...
When I put on my directional signal, I'm not asking permission, I'm telling you what I'm going to do.
