Well, we could always call it a training exercise. It's the patrols - esp. the air patrols that are spendy.
But - hey - you convinced me. Let the ship owners do it. Of course, they have not yet found it economic & instead just let crew and cargo sit (14 times - on news this pm) or pay ~~$1M. I guess each owner pays that every couple or few years...
