But the narco sub didn't have any visible weaponry, at least not in the video shown, so again, its possible the CO or whoever, decided against sinking the sub, and went to capture and arrestCoasties have full authority to use force up to and including lethal if needed, and the Chief Bosun usually makes that call on scene!
There might have been a SAW on board the RIB, and if the weather was sorta ok, a helo with door gun ready to go!
Is it also possible that the CG does have ROE that's similar to military ROE in international waters? As in don't fire upon, unless fired upon (defensive use); or fire warning shot across bow, and sink only as last resort?
