The ship was an unarmed vessel on its way to a goodwill visit to Sri Lanka and coming from an international maritime exercise hosted by India, which the United States also attended and participated in. The US torpedoed it, and when it sank, the US did not apparently attempt to rescue any of the Dena's crew. Fortunately, Sri Lanka showed up and saved 30 people.

Mind you, the details of war are not always clear. The US says that the ship was armed, and it also says that they did make an effort to rescue the crew. The US does not explain why it failed to actually rescue anybody, of course.

The US is busy shooting “drug boats” with no evidence, that is who they are now

[monooso]

I believe the phrase you're reaching for is "carrying out extra-judicial executions of civilians alleged to have been smuggling drugs."

[the_overseer]

Or shorter.. NAZIS!

[SV_BubbleTime]

I thought the people claiming they might be fishing boats with no fishing gear, 55gallon drums, in specially designed hulls with 6 engines, hauling ass out of known drug ports were just joking.

Guess we'll never know, since instead of arresting and prosecuting them under the law, we blew them up.

[voganmother42]

Yeah, why check right? Not like we need evidence or any investigation…

I saw some people leaving a known drug house yesterday, but fortunately I gunned down the whole family, no questions asked!

If you think a warship is ever 'unarmed' I have a bridge to sell you.

[CobrastanJorji]

Sadly no, they also blew up the bridge. 8 dead, 100 injured. Blowing up civilian infrastructure is also a war crime.

[Rebelgecko]

Since when is a warship's bridge "civilian infrastructure"?

ship used for naval exercise uses different software and payload (non-explosive). additionally, that ship also bring navy band performing in host parade days prior.
