Had a CG escort all the way out.
Have we gotten to the point that a gunner is really needed?
They ran between our ship and any boats that were on plane near us. Looks like that they asked/forced them to slow to to 6 knots +/- until we passed.
We did go by a tug towing but the CG didn't even approach them.
If someone really wanted to do damage to the cruise ship, they could have used that and literally carried a barge load of explosives, (or in the tug itself) ran next to us and blew it up.

Maybe it was inspected prior to leaving?

All other ports we were in, during this cruise and other trips, I have never seen a gunner on the bow of a CG or Port Authority Boat.
