Open lifeboat or one of the all-enclosed type I wonder?

Think it'd matter?

A rescue team would seek their objective....everybody else could tread water clinging to their weapons....300 miles from shore with a sub and a Navy DDG between 'em.

Open boat makes it easier to see the situation.
However I saw a photo of a Maersk ship elsewhere and they had the orange enclosed cold weather lifeboats so I suspect that’s the standard now.

Like you say, Navy pros would meet the challenge just fine. Just hope it works out OK for the gutsy skipper, pirates can become fish food I hope.
