Again... don't know. And again, it would be no more than a mere guess on my part and I certainly wouldn't want to waste anyone's time with nothing more than guesses on my part unless we were referring specifically to the years 1788-1946. However I imagine that, again it would depend on the presence of combat ready troops v. troops in transit.

I'm simply not a very clever person as are most who post on DU. Might I refer you to the following as a valid source material if the topic piques your curiosity or interest:

1. United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
2. Geneva Conventions on the Laws of War, Common Article 3(1)
3. United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea



I imagine if the above does not directly address your concerns and questions, they would be a wonderful starting place.
