Would it piss you off if I say I didn ' t like the game ? PShow is great , though . <| sep |> Never going to happen . First off , we don ' t have enough ships . How many NSCs would it take to operate a police force in this area ? 2 at a time ? And there ' s 4 on the west coast edit there ' s 3 ? In theory , you could send a detachment of FRCs I guess and create a Patrol Forces SouthEast Asia , but where ' s the money for building a Bahrain type operation in Vietnam . And with the incoming U . S . administration , and current Filipino admin , there ' s not taste for an American regional police force . How does Trump explain why America s spending millions of dollars so that Vietnamese fisherman can safely transit ? And the ephemeral Right of Navigation ain ' t going to hold water with that admin and it ' s supporters . Finally , I ' m not sure I understand why the Coast Guard is so well positioned for this . Is it literally just the color of their ships ? Because the Coast Guard is a military service and it ' s ships are warships . So there ' s no legal difference internationally . One last thing , are our cutters equipped for this mission ? Our crews trained ? I mean , were not talking about fisheries enforcement here at least not in the scenario you mentioned . We ' re talking about fisheries unenforcement . About using U . S . vessels to deter Chinese vessels from enforcing illegitimate or illegal restrictions on the high seas . This isn ' t our traditional mission . Does the NSC ' s 57 mm gun carry that amount of deterrence ? Isn ' t vessel on vessel combat the Navy ' s bread and butter ?
