Default Did this Amateur Violate US Neutrality Act?

OK, so I can sail out of New York harbor in a Panamanian flagged vessel and
sail past the 250 mile limit and transmit whatever I want, say at 500,000W,
as a pirate with no call sign, without fear of retribution from the FCC when
I return to New York harbor, under the auspices that FCC has no authority
over my transmissions in international waters, even though I am in complete
violation of USA ITU treaty agreements? If this were actually legal, do you
realize how many stations would be doing exactly that?


And what does being on a ship in international waters have to do with
a case where a person is inside the national borders of a foreign
government?
