I honestly don't know what to make of this comment. There hasn't been large scale naval combat, or challenged transoceanic supply lines since World War II. So... what's your point? Also, you seem to be implying that targeting supply lines is somehow illegitimate. It is legitimate. It's been a tactic of war since war evolved beyond cattle raids on neighboring villages. The fact that you're comparing this to a war crime, shows you don't know what you're talking about.
Next you'll being saying false flags[0] and arming civilian[1] ships are war crimes. Again, they're not.
