However, if the new model is for ships cruising in the standard paths to suddenly veer into you, and higher HQ has not alerted you to that threat, I may reconsider.
Right. LOL.
I typically refrain from posting opinions about things like this without knowing more facts, but based on my own knowledge of large vessels I would speculate that it's highly unlikely for an oceangoing container ship or oil tanker to "suddenly veer" into anyone's path.
