Captain claims Mayaguez incident mishandled by U S captain
Las Vegas based Capt. Vito Adamo says the Mayaguez affair could have been avoided with different actions after a Cambodian patrol boat fired on the ship. He recalls a prior incident aboard the Beauregard in Indo China waters and argues top speeds let cargo ships outrun patrol boats. Adamo links brass smuggling probes, his 1974 Saigon arrest, and Sea-Land losses to political theater and questions the Mayaguez decision amid Carter Ford debates.
