USS McCain moves to interdict Nork ship
I wrote earlier in the week about the USS John S. McCain being involved in a collision with a Chinese sub last week. Yesterday I wrote that the US Navy was preparing for operations against suspect North Korean shipping. Last night Reuters reported that the US Navy is shadowing a suspect ship (Reuters link);
The U.S. Navy is monitoring a vessel called Kang Nam at sea under new U.N. sanctions that bar North Korea from exporting weapons, including missile parts and nuclear materials, they said.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the ship based in North Korea became “a subject of interest” after leaving a North Korean port on Wednesday.
They declined to say what the ship, now in international waters, might be carrying.
Today these stories intersect with a report from Fox News Jennifer Griffin that the McCain is maneuvering to interdict that North Korean ship suspected of carrying embargoed cargo. No links yets – just picked it up on the tube.

Maybe Hussein Obongo could get a chopper to set him down on the Koreans’ deck and he could offer a round of apologetic blowjobs and they would all go home and be nice.
He could even sweeten the pot with erotic pix of Jimmy Carter posing in gaarter belt, hose and heels, coyly peering out form behind a palestinian flag!One picture per cabin, please!
Just curious: Back in the day a boarding party was Gunners Mates and volunteers. BTDT.
Who does what to who(m) nowadays?
That question is well beside the issue of who will manage the potential encounter. I see figurative ‘fist shaking’ in the near future.
“Won’t you let us come aboard… please?”
