[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Ms.Sojourner, it must be accepted that whatever remains of the US Merchant Marine does so by Fiat, which is a way of saying that an inter-Hawaiian ferry service would be economically unfeasable.The Captain Phillips varietal of the USMM exists only because when the Danish shipping concern A P Moeller Maersk bought out US flagged Sea Land, a provision within the agreement called for so much tonnage be US flagged. Beyond that the USMM had its Last Hurrah with the Marshall Plan legislation that said the commerce arising from the Act would be transported in US hulls. So if you want to look at the Capitol in Honolulu, best call up United and settle down in a seat on a 777. [/QB][/QUOTE]
