The article calls them 'huge' or 'giant' cargo ships at 30 - 35000 tonnes. For perspective, and Arleigh-Burke destroyer is about 83 - 8500 tons, a Nimitz is pushing 86,000 tons.

I'm sure the sonic signature for the screws and powerplant is in the computers of several attack boats.

Hey Blue, you are the naval expert come to think of it.

How could you take these down without polluting the ocean with their stores? Do we really worry if vx or biologics get dumped into the sea...are they even potent in that environment?

Also, any way to burn them with heat rounds setting them afire?
