Please be aware that the US is not a signatory to the Law of the Sea treaty. That treaty has been used as an attempt to hamstring the US Navy and firearms laws. On international waters a ship can have any type of arms, the problem is when the ship gets into national waters and port. Then unless you want to spend a long term in primitive jails it is best to get rid of RPG and RPK's overboard. It is natural that any nation wants to control what is brought into the nation. Arms is a big problem in many nations. I find it funny that the Bahamas count the ammo rounds incoming and then outgoing to be sure that none were expended.

Yemen, and fitting it out with real RPGs and RPKs? I can't be the first person to have had this idea.
