  1. Is anyone looking after the interests of the crew of, Galaxy Leader? No one seems prepare to pay a ransom. Nor does anyone seem prepared to rescue them?

  2.  @Comm0ut  very little shipping is US flagged. But ignoring that most of the world's business comes to the United States; is narrow-minded 1920s isolationism. It affects our banks. It affects our customers. It affects our companies. It affects our economy.

  3.  @mikedx2706  there are political and economic realities to consider. The ability to project power for both of those Nations is limited.

  4. On another website, they brought up the fact that the Russians are having problems with their satellite navigation system. They are lacking funds to replace worn out satellites. Do any commercial ships use the Russian sat system?🛰️

  6. Well actually our ability to keep ships on station is a little bit in question. We've got Cruisers that haven't even deployed in some cases since 2014. We are retiring four them by September.

  7.  @willythemailboy2  which is why I asked the question. These men face a very Grim future. There's no one putting their faces on telephone poles. No one's protesting in the streets for them. And no one's going to be doing any hostage Rescue Mission it seems?

  11.  @chillxxx241  the US uses the World for trade. Just because it doesn't say it's labeled for New York Or Baltimore? Doesn't mean it is not going to a port in Europe first. Containers go all over the place. Ships make more than one stop. And the business interests have no borders. Ownership is in one nation. Insurance and flag of convenience someplace else. The crews are all from all over the place.

  12.  @chillxxx241  focusing on the US flag is meaningless. As very few carriers fly it.
