Thanks for elaborating on this a little. I noted it in story #4 yesterday and speculated on it a little myself, but I'm surprised that it has gotten almost no attention in the K-blogs.

Come to think of it, it might be an interesting turn of events if the North Koreans missiled a Chinese ship.

When you escalate the cat and mouse to weapons that operate beyond line of sight, civilians may get caught in the crossfire. Military ships can know when they are being painted with weapons' radars. Fishing and merchant ships can not.

If a civilian ship inadvertently encroaches on a line, we may have an incident.
