#1 I just wonder if the NORK ship is loaded to the gills with explosives salted with uranium, praying for the Mc Cain to get close enough to boom the ship and plant evidence of there being nukes on the Mc Cain? (Raidioactive wreckage)and they've turned around so the boom will be in shallow enough water to reach with diving subs like the Alvin.

#2 I have difficulty believing that Burma didnt know what was on the ship from the moment it sailed.

Maybe the PRC put the screws on Burma. I cant rule that out. My working hypothesis is slightly less conspiratorial - when it sailed, the NORKS didnt think they wouldnt get a port on the way, so they didnt bother filling it with extra fuel tanks (a pretty expensive proposition anyway, I imagine, if all it was was a shipment of small arms - they will save that option for when they are actually shipping a nuke)

#3 I bet LH is right in making the maneuvers about fuel. As fuel-short as NorK is, they probably didn't load any excess, just enough to get them somewhere that would 'sell' them more (Hong Kong?) or maybe even Burma, but without any spare for playing games with the McCain etc.
