“We've got a ship in duress that's sailing without a flag and that hasn't sent out a distress signal... Something doesn't add up.”
The flotilla had rehearsed what to do in the event they came across a ship in duress. First, they would check to see if other vessels were coming to render assistance. If not, they would amplify any distress signals and facilitate finding help. What they wouldn't do—or would do only as an absolute last resort—was divert from their own freedom-of-navigation patrol to provide that assistance themselves.
Morris said no, there wasn't a flag flying either fore or aft. Then she stepped back into the bridge and asked the officer of the deck, a beef-fed lieutenant junior grade with a sweep of sandy blond hair, whether or not a distress signal had come in over the last hour. “We've got a ship in duress that's sailing without a flag and that hasn't sent out a distress signal,” said Hunt. “Let's take a closer look, Jane. And let's go to full general quarters. Something doesn't add up.”
