changes in the nature of naval warfare edit

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It is written that "... due to changes in the nature of naval warfare, no prize cases have been heard since the [cited United States] statutes were adopted in 1956." It would be interesting if these changes in warfare were specified. I am wondering if it is changes in international law, or in naval tactics. Since, as I recall, letters of marque have been abolished by treaty (See Letter_of_marque#Abolition_of_privateering)Terry Thorgaard (talk) 22:36, 9 June 2016 (UTC) , a prize case by the crew of a privateer would be unlikely, but it seems possible that the US government might find it necessary to bring a prize case, under certain circumstances.
