Suspect Vessel. //Merchant vessel, this is U.S. warship, the U.S. intends to conduct a visit and search of your vessel in accordance with the U.N. charter, article 51 and under the authority of U.S. Security Council resolution 661. The U.S. intends no harm to your vessel, cargo, or crew. If the inspection team confirms that your manifest is in order, your cargo accessible, and you are not carrying prohibited cargo, you will be allowed to proceed to your destination. Please stand by to accept the U.S. inspection team. You will need to rig a ladder and stop your engines. Do you understand, over?

Helo Insertion. //Merchant vessel, this is U.S. warship, I intend to send the initial inspection team by helicopter. You will need to come up into the wind and clear your foc'sle. Do you understand, over?

Merchant vessel declines boarding. //Merchant vessel, this is U.S. warship, you are free to choose to divert now to a port not in Iraq. If you choose this option, the visit and search of your vessel may be avoided. What is your decision, over?

Introduction of Boarding Officer. //I am the senior U.S. officer present and I intend to inspect your cargo. Please follow all instructions. Your cooperation will be necessary in order to conduct this inspection. We would like to see your manifest first, and then we will inspect the cargo. Please inform your crew of our intent and direct them not to interfere with the inspection team. For their own safety, please tell them to remain calm and to help us avoid any misunderstanding or confrontation. All crew members are safe and no harm is intended. Thank you for your cooperation.

You are released. //Merchant Vessel, you are released to lay to or proceed directly to your destination. Thank you for your cooperation.

Divert, Noncompliance correctable. //Merchant vessel, you are not authorized to proceed to intended port or any other port in Iraq because of a noncompliance condition. You may proceed to another port of call or lay to and correct your manifest and shift cargo to make it accessible for inspection.)

Slow compliance. //Captain, it does not appear that you are responding to my directions. Please comply now. If you do not understand my instructions, please tell me and I will repeat them.

Failure to Comply //Captain, you are failing to comply with my orders. Your failure to cooperate with U.N. forces is making the situation unnecessarily hazardous. I am in the process of contacting your vessel's owners and agents, and your government to describe your failure to cooperate. I am sure they will be communicating with you with instructions to cooperate. I urge you to comply immediately.

Intentional Disregard //Captain, I am prepared to use those means necessary to compel your compliance with my orders. I will not allow you to proceed. You should consider the safety of your vessel and your crew, and the severe consequences of your actions. I urge you one final time to immediately comply.)

Refusing Board and Search, Inbound. //Merchant vessel, this is U.S. warship, since you have chosen to refuse visit and search, you are not authorized to proceed to your intended port in Iraq. It is my belief that this is your decision alone not to comply, and not that of your owner. I request that you contact your owner immediately for specific guidance on this matter. You are free to divert now to a port not in IRAQ. What is your intention, over?

Refusing Board and Search, Outbound. //Merchant vessel, this is U.S. warship. Captain, since you have chosen to refuse visit and search, you are not authorized to proceed to your intended port in Iraq. It is my belief that this is your decision alone to not comply and not that of your owner. I request that you contact your owner immediately for specific guidance on this matter. What is your intention, over?

Refusal to Divert. //Merchant vessel, under United Nations security council resolution 661, we are authorized to halt all inward and outward maritime shipping in order to inspect and verify their cargoes and destinations and you will not be allowed to proceed to your current destination. The United States intends no harm to your ship your cargo or your crew. Please do not resist. Cooperate in this action so that we can avoid any damage or injury and ensure the safety of your cargo and crew. You are advised that this warship is authorized to use force if necessary to enforce United Nations security council resolutions against Iraq and in self-defense to ensure the safety of its personnel.

Initial warning. //Merchant vessel, you have one more chance to stop your vessel. Be advised that if you permit visit and search now, you will be allowed to proceed to your destination if the inspection team confirms that your manifest is in order, that your cargo is accessible, and that you are not carrying prohibited cargo. We will stop your ship even if we have to disable your ship. Captain, it is my belief that you are acting alone and are endangering your ship and its crew without the knowledge of the owner. I request that you reconsider, stop your vessel, and contact your owner before your ship is disabled or destroyed. Do you understand, over?

Intent to Use Warning Shots. //Merchant vessel, if you refuse to stop and permit us to board and search now, we will fire across the bow of your ship. Do you understand? Over.

Intent to Use Disabling Fire. //Merchant vessel, we will disable your vessel by firing at the stern. I am now giving you an opportunity to evacuate your people from the stern of your ship.

Last Warning. //Merchant vessel, that was your last warning. If you do not stop your vessel immediately, the next round will be fired into your stern.
