And as everyone saw this past weekend, we're prepared and postured to intercept them. As of this morning, 34 ships have met the US blockade and made the wise choice to turn around. One ship did not, and that ship was the motor vessel Tuska. Over several hours this past Sunday, April 19, the US conducted maritime interdiction operations against the Tuska, whose crew attempted to breach the blockade line. (09:02–09:07)
