CAP CAPRICORN headed for Auckland, New Zealand. Interesting livery she wears. Is it each operator that is pre-cleared for Customs or the actual owner of these ships. CAP PATTON, CAP PASLEY, CAP PALMERSTON, CAP PALLISER, CAP CAPRICORN are five ships in the same livery colors yet among them three different operators. EVER LUCENT Lucent at Pier 400 Long Beach and EVER ELITE at the Evergreen Lines terminal tonight. Evergreen Lines alone has 189 vessels of various types in the fleet.

But boatfags, why do so many of these ships have registries in Liberia, Panama, or Malta?

 

What is a Flag of Convenience?

 

When registering a vessel for international travel, one must choose a nation under the flag of which that vessel will sail. The term “flag of convenience” refers to registering a ship in a sovereign state different from that of the ship's owners.

 

Why register a flag of convenience?

Ships registered under flags of convenience can often reduce operating costs or avoid the regulations of the owner's country. To do so, a vessel owner will find a nation with an open registry, or a nation that allows registration of vessels owned by foreign entities. A ship operates under the laws of its flag state, so vessel owners often register in other nations to take advantages of reduced regulation, lower administrative fees, and greater numbers of friendly ports.

Most of the US power grid is not only quite old, so cyber attack on systems no way connected to the internet are rather pointless, but constructed in such a manner that this greatly feared EMP blast would require the energy of several megaton nuclear detonations in close proximity to achieve effect. Case in point: 1964 Hydrogen Device detonation in Upper Atmosphere, Pacific Ocean. High-yield localized effect with some minor damage to streetlights Hawaiian Islands.

First bird farm WASP was CV-7. I understand somewhere with Davey Jones a WASP and her crew rest in the briny deep, never found.

 

USS Wasp (CV-18) was an Essex-class aircraft carrier built for the US Navy. It saw extensive service in the Pacific during World War II and continued to be of service after the war until it was decommissioned in 1972.
