2. In theory I agree, but it's a little more complicated than that
The MMs have contracts with many peoples, including our government. I was shocked when I learned about some of their cargo. First the navy needs to begin to haul their own cargo, then we can tell the MMs that they are on their own.
3. I actually think that we'll see a resurgence of US registered vessels
at least for routes in pirate infested waters for this reason and because the American crews are apparently paid well enough to think it worth fighting back.
