The "excludes military force" is in reference to the action which can be taken if NK does not comply with the resolution, but if they put up a struggle or have an armed escort tagging along then you don't need specific wording to tell you how to respond in self defense.

I'm sure the Navy already has ROE for such operations.

What if North Korea refuses to let them board? Do we have to wait for a new resolution in order for our guys to be able to force themselves at weapon-point on to the ship? The "excludes military force" is a pretty big thing. I think it will come back to bite us in the rear, especially if our guys do something that China or Russia consider "military force".

No doubt.
