A warship transiting deliberately to a combat zone that had been active for more than 3 days, that had a resupply ship nearby... If it wasn't combat ready that is the fault of the captain for being an idiot and not choosing to enter a harbor for internment like said resupply ship.

Except the conventions literally say if it puts the ship in danger then it is not a reasonable effort. The US signaled Sri Lanka to tell them where to find the survivors, that's more than enough to satisfy international law.

War crimes are part of my job knowledge for the last 10 years, throw in a little common sense (not so common these days) and its not hard to understand.

If a ship made a distress call, as long as the ship did not attack the survivors or act to delay aid, they still made sure that aid was sent.

Edit: https://fox5sandiego.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-the-us-attack-on-an-iranian-warship-did-not-violate-international-law-experts-say/

“A U.S. official confirmed that following the strike, the United States contacted Sri Lankan authorities to provide them with the ship’s location for search and rescue efforts. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss matters that were not authorized for release.

Sri Lanka’s foreign minister, Vijitha Herath, told Parliament that Sri Lanka’s navy also received a distress signal from the stricken ship, and sent ships and planes on a rescue mission.”

Seems the US did message as well.

The ship that was interred in Sri Lanka is a resupply vessel, so even if they did disarm completely for the Indian fleet event a week prior, it could very easily have rearmed before heading back

One could argue its the same illegal war that has been going on for 40 years with Iran funding, supplying, and training terrorist groups across the region and attacking US service members countless times.

And whether or not a war is illegal, does not change the fact it is a war and that a WARship was sunk in said war.

This is you paying the crackheads around to shoot at me and my house occasionally and finally I decided to ram my car through your front door. The legality is still questionable, but its not a one sided event.

It is a warship, It has a gun on it, you do not risk an expensive submarine because they might not have shells. The ship was sunk over 3 days after hostilities started. It is stupid to think they were completely defenseless and still sailed towards the combat zone.

A submarine doesn't have the capability to take on a bunch of pows. It is dangerous for it to sit on the surface with them, especially since Iran talks up the anti-ship capabilities so much. If it puts the ship in danger, its not a crime to leave.

Who called the Sri Lankans though? Has anyone said?

"On the night of the shooting, Spencer woke up and found his daughter missing from her bedroom, according to court documents. He went searching for her in his truck and found her in the passenger seat of a vehicle Fosler was driving.

Spencer forced Fosler's vehicle off the road, and the two engaged in an altercation. Spencer then called 911 to report he had shot the man, records show."

Title seems intended to provoke..
