Please don’t tell me the British navy can’t handle this.

“Please don’t tell me the British navy can’t handle this.”

The British navy probably can’t handle this.

1. There's no reason to use the word "ergo," ever. 2. All rats are "cannibal rats." 3. It is true that there are all sorts of mysterious things floating around in the sea, and some of them are ships... But only once have I seen a "ship without lights" or "ghost ship," and it was probably not a modern Marie Celeste. But who knows? The vessel in question lay no more than 80 miles East of Norfolk, and was seen at night, on a moonless night. It was not underway, and it may have been at anchor, but it showed no shapes nor lights. In fact we came upon it fast and it was very scary. Probably military, yes... Probably watching us, yes... But spooky as heck when it looks like a big black cliff coming up on you!

No need for the navy to bother, if they were smart. Just say, if the ship enters British waters, the first private company that can get it under control gets the salvage rights. Problem solved.
