| #8 I imagine putting a bomb on a ship and treating it like a huge carbomb would be better than setting it up to fire cruise missiles. |

| #4 Not related, but I have to wonder: With all these container ships stranded off the coast, how many illegal aliens have starved/dehydrated/overheated to death on those ships? |

| #2 Very possible. Or, vessels no longer required. They may already be here awaiting inspection or in-transit by road and rail to their respective target regions. |

| #1 ...They could - it's a perfectly reasonable tactic. On the other hand, that either makes those ships either auxiliary warships (and therefore legitimate targets) or privateers, in which case I would refer them to Paris Declaration Respecting Maritime Law (1856), which outlaws that sort of thing. The US never signed it, but has made repeated statements that it shall abide by its provisions. Either way, every Chinese merchant ship will be a legitimate target. The Chinese want to get cute? No problems. Even a crippled USN would be able wipe the PRC's merchant fleet from the seas, and without merchant ships anything they thought they were going to get from a war would vanish once their economy collapses.
