When A Cruise Ship Sunk A Navy Gunship?

A Venezuelan navy gunboat, Naiguatá, accidentally owned itself after ramming the German cruise ship RCGS Resolute in international waters off the south Caribbean. The ship was carrying only 32 crew members and no passengers at the time. The Venezuelan Navy warship, armed with a 76mm naval gun and a German-built anti-aircraft system, was attempting to intercept the cruise ship. However, the Venezuelan Navy crew were unaware of the cruise ship’s presence.

The Venezuelan Navy gunboat, Naiguatá, was allegedly armed with a German-built anti-aircraft system that sprays a cloud of tungsten bullets and a pair of deck-mounted deck-mounted guns. The Venezuelan coast guard challenged the cruise ship, RCGS Resolute, and learned that banging your head against a brick wall is not a good strategy. The patrol ship collided with the cruise ship RCGS Resolute in international waters and sank.

The incident occurred during sea trials in March 2020, when the Venezuelan Navy vessel allegedly fired shots and then purposely collided with the cruise ship. The Venezuelan Navy coastal patrol boat sank in the Caribbean after allegedly ramming a cruise ship that it had ordered to change direction. The incident highlights the dangers of allowing a cruise ship to dodging icebergs while on a penguin tour.
