Yep

Like Crimea is staying Russian territory

Like Ukraine is running out of Ukrainians and there's not that many mercs in the "Legion"

Like the NATO troops already there are saving a round for themselves because getting captured by Ivan would be "most unpleasant"

Report From Another Era: Nazi Sub Surrenders off Cape May

By Bill Headington September 1, 2001

 

…But if this was a fairly routine sequence of events, what was so special about this submarine? U-858 was the first Nazi submarine to surrender to the United States Navy after the cessation of hostilities with Germany in May of 1945. And the surrender took place about forty miles off the coast of Cape May, New Jersey.

 

U-858 had been out on patrol for six weeks and had torpedoed 16 Allied ships when her commander, Kapitanleutenant (that’s equal to a Lieutenant Commander) Thilo Bode received word from his wireless operator that Germany had capitulated and all naval vessels were ordered to stand down and surrender as soon as possible. Kapitan Bode immediately signaled his intention to turn over his vessel to American forces, and on Monday, May 14, 1945 he rendezvoused with a task-group from the US Atlantic Fleet, just east of Cape May.

 

Naturally, newsmen and photographers were on hand to document the historic moment. They reported that the crew of U-858 seemed quite young (the average age for U-boat crewmen was 20 years of age). They said the men looked unkempt and a bit ragged, but six weeks of traveling in what has been described as a sewer pipe with valves (German subs of that era had no showers or laundry facilities) could make any group of men less than fresh.

 

The reporters at the transfer of command noted that the 27-year-old Bavarian Kapitan Bode was tall, smooth-shaven, and pasty-faced, with a keen wit about him. When journalists asked the German skipper for his reaction to the surrender orders, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “We expected it. What was the use of going on? We hadn’t seen any ships to attack.” Kapitan Bode added, “Give me my submarine, my crew and I’d like to help fight the Japs with the US Navy.”

 

The Navy declined the offer and took U-858 and her crew to Fort Miles, Delaware, for processing. The sub was later towed to the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and scrapped. It was Cape May that made all the headlines, and the public relations value of this history-making surrender was not lost on certain members of the local press. On May 17, 1945, just three days after U-858 surrendered, the Cape May Star and Wave published the following editorial, written by a columnist with the clever name of C. Worthy:

Russian Jet Buzzes Estonian Forces in Gulf of Finland Shadow Tanker Showdown

Mike Schuler May 14, 2025

 

A tense maritime incident unfolded today in the off the Estonian coast when Estonian naval forces attempted to detain the M/T JAGUAR, a crude oil tanker allegedly part of Russia’s shadow fleet.

 

Estonian forces deployed a helicopter, patrol aircraft, and patrol boat to intercept the vessel, which apparently refused to comply with orders to halt or alter course.

 

The situation escalated when a Russian Su-35S fighter jet entered Estonian airspace over the Gulf of Finland in what appeared to be an attempt to deter Estonian forces. Part of the incident was captured from the bridge of the JAGUAR:

 

The JAGUAR, sailing under Gabon’s flag, subsequently proceeded to Russian waters and anchored near Gogland Island before proceeding towards Primorsk.

 

This incident follows a similar case from early April when Estonian authorities detained another sanctioned tanker, the Kiwala, for operating without a valid flag state registration. The Kiwala, also suspected to be part of the “shadow fleet” used to circumvent international sanctions, was released after Djibouti agreed to register the vessel temporarily.

Suez Canal offers discount in bid to lure boxships back

Sam Chambers May 14, 2025

 

Egypt’s Suez Canal will offer a 15% discount for the next three months on transit fees for containerships of approximately 13,500 teu and above in terms of capacity, to encourage trade back, with recent headlines suggesting the Red Sea shipping crisis is coming to a close.

 

The Suez Canal Authority said the offer was in “response to requests from containership owners and operators, and in light of recent positive developments in the security situation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait”.

 

Revenues from Suez Canal transits have more than halved over the past year as a huge swathe of the global merchant fleet – led by containerships – avoided the area as the Houthis from Yemen, in support of Hamas’s war with Israel, have been attacking merchant shipping.

 

Donald Trump, the American president, claimed last week that after more than 17 months, the Red Sea shipping crisis is coming to a close.

 

Speaking at the White House, Trump said Yemen’s Houthis have agreed to halt their attacks on shipping and that Washington would in turn stop carrying out strikes on the Iran-backed rebels. Trump’s claims have been backed up by Oman’s foreign minister, who has been negotiating between the two sides. However, the Houthis have since continued to fire missiles towards Israel, eliciting a military response from Tel Aviv.

 

Most liners questioned at recent quarterly results have insisted it is still too early for any resumption of Red Sea transits.

 

Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc said last week it would be “irresponsible” to resume Red Sea transits based on an unclear ceasefire deal, warning the region remains too volatile for a safe return.

 

Speaking with Splash today, Lars Jensen, who heads up Vespucci Maritime, a container shipping advisory, said: “I would not think a 15% discount would have any meaningful impact on the decision on whether or not to transit the Red Sea under the present circumstances. That decision will be based on a risk assessment.”

 

“Given the fast-changing news flow in the current climate, we do not expect a rush to return to normal Red Sea transits given the risks,” shipping analysts at investment bank Jefferies argued in a note to clients last week, pointing out how the container shipping industry remains the most exposed to a change in market fundamentals should Red Sea transits resume normally.

 

Jefferies estimates the effect of diversions has tightened capacity by 11-12% and is effectively the difference between a healthy market and one with limited ocean carrier pricing power.
