    Correct, and there have been cases where the owner of the vessel
choose to allow the ship and cargo to be salvage rather than pay towing
costs.  (Salvage typically entitles you to 25% of the value of the ship
and cargo, and that is often less than the towing costs demanded.)

    In the case of the Navy, they usually have other ships around that
can do the towing--warships are designed for this--but it is still very
embarrassing outside of combat.
