Can't wait for the maritime data showing who tried to run into who.
Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed.

Well as it has been pointed out, even if you disregard the operator's statement that the cruise ship was essentially adrift under repairs, there is no way it could have turned into a warship a fifth of its displacement under ordinary circumstances.

Nobody believes what the Venezuelans say in this matter. They might say they do, but what occurred is painfully clear.

It appears Wikipedia differs internally on who was at fault.
In its entry for the “RCGS Resolute” link it states under “Incidents” that “Warning shots were fired from a rifle into the sea and, shortly thereafter, Naiguatá was rammed by the RCGS Resolute.”
In its entry under “Venezuelan patrol boat Naiguatá” link it states under “Sinking” that “Naiguatá sank following its purposeful ramming of the cruise liner RCGS Resolute while in international waters on 30 March 2020.”
So, one entry in Wikipedia says the Resolute was the aggressor while another entry says the Naiguatá was the aggressor.
Who actually edits this stuff? Where I the QC by Wikipedia staff?
Yea, I know, it's Wikipedia.
