#1 I truly wish they had hung on to this ship, because I can see all sorts of possibilities for Xe in the future with it. So there is probably an underlying reason why they are dumping it.

Unless, of course, they are going to sell it to a shell company, to get out from under restrictive maritime limits imposed by whatever flag it is registered under.

#2 Hard to compete with the Yemeni Navy who are hiring out escort services on the side.

#3 i would not be surprised to find that the DoJ had contacted Xe and made statements about criminal charges in the USA if any fuzzy ducks or baby bunnies happened to get hurt...
