Original Note:
In 2019, the US Treasury sanctioned the Sig, along with other vessels and individuals, for "participating in a sanctions evasion scheme to facilitate the delivery of jet fuel to Russian forces operating in Syria". It's not a civilian vessel and is a legitimate military target. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm785
