What about the Allies

Did the Allies adhere to the prize rules? I think not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.14.208.18 (talk) 09:12, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Which treaties govern these rules, and which states are parties to them ?

Proposed page move to prize rules

The common name for the "Rules of Prize Warfare" seems to be "prize rules" with "cruiser rules" the second most popular. The current name is not very common.

What constitutes "a threat to the attacker"?

Technically, wouldn't the vast majority of merchant ships in World War I & II have presented a threat to a submarine due to their vastly larger size? Ramming was one of the main ways to attack a submarine, after all. 75.76.213.106 (talk) 19:59, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MERGER

This needs to be merged into Prize law, which is a thorough and accurate discussion of the subject. This article duplicates some of what is already there -- and where it departs it is neither thorough nor accurate.FrederickFolger ⚓^(talk) 15:26, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There being no objection in the last month, I will proceed with the merger. FrederickFolger ⚓^(talk) 14:43, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
