They'll be heading towards LC and BR in a couple of hours.

This is _________ of the United States Navy. Stop and prepare to be boarded.

At least 15 U.S. sanctioned oil tankers have reportedly broken the complete blockade of Venezuelan oil exports since the Saturday capture of ousted socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, using so-called “dark mode” tactics to evade capture.

Temporarily that is. They can run but can't hide.

The US is in charge. From the article posted
"The now-departed ships had been docked in Venezuelan ports for weeks, the New York Times (NYT) reported Monday. Tankers in the group used techniques employed by the modern “ghost fleet” of sanction skirting ships, including painting names of decommissioned vessels on ships’ hulls, misrepresenting their positions, and leaving in coordinated fashion to escape the blockade."
when ships start getting "through" the naval blockade, being filled with oil and getting back out through the blockade I'll start to worry.
Until then "multiple" ships getting the hell out of Dodge while we take over and get things moving smoothly is not a big concern (in my opinion). Especially when we know exactly where they are.
If it will make anybody feel better we could turn them into "multiple" oil slicks in the ocean but I'm sure there would be gnashing of teeth on that as well.

Imagine trying to hide, but you are a boat the size of a football field.

An oil tanker using dark mode. GMAFB. An oil tanker is a f'ing beached whale on the scope, dottering around playing with itself. You can't hide mfer, not from synthetic aperture radar, not from infrared red tracking, not from P-8's and helo's, not from SONAR, and especially from satélites that can hear a shrimp fart

No way I’m in that tank. I set the over under on at least 10 fatalities from its training use

Who's in charge?

Lmao!! Stay tuned...... me thinks those oil tankers will have a change of heart!

Didn’t an oil tanker paint a Russian flag on it and we let it go? I imagine these tankers will do the same.
