in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Before an armed vessel owned wholly or partly by U.S. citizens can leave a U.S. port, its owners must post a bond promising it will not be used to attack the people or property of a foreign country the United States is at peace with. The bond must be worth double the value of the ship, its cargo, and its weapons.

Before an armed vessel — owned wholly or partly by U.S. citizens, and sailing from a U.S. port or a port under U.S. jurisdiction — is allowed to clear out and leave, its owners or consignees must post a bond to the United States, backed by sufficient guarantors. The bond must be worth double the value of the vessel and everything on board, including its cargo and its weapons. The condition of the bond: the owners will not use the vessel to cruise around attacking, or committing hostilities against, the people, citizens, or property of any foreign country, colony, district, or people that the United States is at peace with.
