60-foot boat with cocaine "attempts to ram" Navy ship

I laughed at this one because of how absurd it was, especially the "fishing" excuse.

Here's the link.

So was the boat itself 'on' cocaine?

No, it was the opposite.

Wow. If they would have just flown a flag and acted like real people, and maybe had some fishing poles and bait for cover, they would have made it. $66M is a lot of money, Im sure somebody is fishing bait now for letting it happen.

Just so that everyone knows, the USS Ford is our sister ship. There are three frigates here in Everett: the USS Ford, the USS Ingraham and the USS Rodney M. Davis (my ship). We will actually be relieving the Ford and doing the exact same mission later this year. I certainly hope our deployment is that exciting.

Really?

Would it be absolute suicide for someone to ram a 60-foot boat against this type of Navy Ship?

Yes, it would be.
