Couldn't they just Chinook those containers onto the aircraft carrier deck and crack them open one by one? And when you've got the intel the U.S. navy has, you don't have to crack them all open, just the ones with the bad stuff
What makes you assume that the US Navy has intel on what's in every container on that ship? And those containers are loaded in a precise order to distribute weight evenly. Whence is the US getting authority to impound and unload a Japanese-registered ship in Egyptian waters carrying bound-for-Europe cargo? (Have they been asked by Egypt?)
There are up to 20,000 containers on that ship. Unloading that amount would be a major task and take some time.
Good thing cargo is designed to be unloaded/loaded. What’s the point of your comment?
Do they have unloading docks in the Bitter Lake?
Unloading a full cargo ship vessel in the middle of the water would take a week just to make a solid plan - if it were even possible.
