Doesn't actually shout "protection", does it?

I doubt they will directly confront zionazis as such. At least there is a safety net of a kind, just in case.

I recall being on a ship in these waters many moons ago, around this time of the year. It's the first time I felt sea-sick (ish) in my life, and I've had my stint of sailing ships around the globe. It was really choppy!!

Thus, I can imagine there could be some need to help the distressed vessels in case of weather. At the end of the day there are 50 odd boats, and statistically there just may be one or two that are not up to it.
