Columbia Cruise Ship sinks Venezuelan Navy Ship

Not sure if this is the right place to post this , but shots were fired.
A Venezuelan Navy Ship sinks after tangling with a Columbia Cruise Ship.
I would have to say the customers of this cruise got their moneys worth.

The cruise ship was just getting repaired at sea with a crew of 26. The Cruise ship was armored for busting ice bergs ..hahahah
Because of the attack with shots fired, Trump is sending a navy ship there.

By the picture it looks like the cruise ship will need a little buffing and some touch up paint.

Seems the ship had chosen to go slowly drifting about THE prime island one would need to establish a covert presence on for air and sea traffic control if one was planning a Panama-like invasion of Caracas, or other secret squirrel stuff. Considering the cruise industry is currently DEAD as a roadside skunk, and Maduro's indictment by the U.S., it makes a lot of sense that this cruise ship just drifting about in tactically important waters didn't make any sense.

If your navy can't win a battle with a cruise ship, you might be a third world sh*thole.

It was a sleeper ship. Looks like cruise ship but in actuality it was a top secret intelligence ship. Made to spy.

Looks like we need a few cruise ships in our navy! Probably scare the chinese into surrendering!

Hmmm

There a few details lacking in this story. Venezuelan Navy ain't the brightest.

It is almost comical how it reads almost.......rammed the cruise ship until it sunk itself.

Wow!

That ship has the highest classification ice hull. It probably could have cut the navy ship in half

Don't know how things are done in the Venezuelan Navy, but in the US Navy the Capt. of the Navantia would have been court martialed and hung out to dry for the sinking of his ship. An act of aggression and piracy? Resolution adrift in international waters. Violated regulations that covers the rescue of life at sea. Stayed on station until it was clear that all crew member were safe. Hmm, I guess the rules have changed since I was in the Navy 49 years ago.

1 reason why the Venezuelan navy isn't actually a thing. More like an aspiration.
