The ship was an unarmed vessel on its way to a goodwill visit to Sri Lanka and coming from an international maritime exercise hosted by India, which the United States also attended and participated in. The US torpedoed it, and when it sank, the US did not apparently attempt to rescue any of the Dena's crew. Fortunately, Sri Lanka showed up and saved 30 people.
Mind you, the details of war are not always clear. The US says that the ship was armed, and it also says that they did make an effort to rescue the crew. The US does not explain why it failed to actually rescue anybody, of course.

- monooso 7mo agoI believe the phrase you're reaching for is "carrying out extra-judicial executions of civilians alleged to have been smuggling drugs."

- SV_BubbleTime 7mo agoI thought the people claiming they might be fishing boats with no fishing gear, 55gallon drums, in specially designed hulls with 6 engines, hauling ass out of known drug ports were just joking.
- voganmother42 7mo agoYeah, why check right? Not like we need evidence or any investigation… I saw some people leaving a known drug house yesterday, but fortunately I gunned down the whole family, no questions asked!

Want to try again? >Oh, it doesn’t exist because you haven’t seen it? Hmm, good analytical skills. This is about what is legal, and about what the law says. It is about establishing a protocol for lawful conduct. Can you explain why you think you have the moral high ground? Or keep with the poorly researched attacks, those are fun too
- mjamesaustin 7mo agoGuess we'll never know, since instead of arresting and prosecuting them under the law, we blew them up.
- sawjet 7mo agoIf you think a warship is ever 'unarmed' I have a bridge to sell you.
- bingkaa 7mo agoship used for naval exercise uses different software and payload (non-explosive). additionally, that ship also bring navy band performing in host parade days prior.
- CobrastanJorji 7mo agoSadly no, they also blew up the bridge. 8 dead, 100 injured. Blowing up civilian infrastructure is also a war crime.
- Rebelgecko 7mo agoSince when is a warship's bridge "civilian infrastructure"?
