There may have been a dozen or so battles like that but how many actually had major battleship on battleship action with one or more being sunk?  I'm not counting Mers-el-Kebir.  Sinking a boat in harbor is cheating.

Tsushima

Jutland 

Denmark Strait

North Cape

2nd Guadalcanal 

Surigao Strait

In some of those, the fatal shots were from other ships or subs.  

Normally, you gotta pay extra for that kind of action.

I like the fact that "dreadnought" and "battleship" are also acceptable terms for.....bigger gals.  @Vic Mackey

From Yahoo News:

The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

The UK’s decision marks a significant break from its closest ally and intelligence sharing partner and underscores the growing skepticism over the legality of the US military’s campaign around Latin America.

For years, the UK, which controls a number of territories in the Caribbean where it bases intelligence assets, has helped the US locate vessels suspected of carrying drugs so that the US Coast Guard could interdict them, the sources said. That meant the ships would be stopped, boarded, its crew detained, and drugs seized.

Felt for all the families of service members missing their loved ones on Veteran's Day due to cancelled leave so that Hegseth can feel powerful

Does anyone not believe that Hegseth ordered the military to kill everyone on the Venezuelan boats, including a second strike to take out any survivors? I would actually be surprised if someone demonstrated that Hegseth was told there were survivors and didn't order a second strike.

Hegseth may not have explicitly say to fire again, but he most certainly gave the initial order to leave no one alive. Everyone is culpable, from Hegseth down to the operator who pulled the trigger. Petey, does the Navy still hang people from yardarms?

So we are looking at either a) Murder; no due process or b) a war crime

They are all acting as if someone can just swat their crimes away with a sharpie.

Also recall that in the first or second strike, there were survivors and no evidence of criminality.  They were released "into the wild" never to be seen again.

Can't have them giving evidence that they were fishermen or whatever.

Yes. Its likely it wasnt even a drug boat but Heggy obviously didnt want any survivors to come back and out him

I feel like this was more the motivation than anything. can't leave any witnesses

"Sir, we've thoroughly searched the wreckage and surrounding waters and all we can find is fishing equipment."

"KILL THEM ALL!!!!"
