As a Naval Officer, I do volunteer my services to bring back the 'Q' ships of yesteryear. Being in international waters, a few Mk19's and 20mm cannon would rip any pirate vessel apart and the Navy would be well within its rights to do so. A white shiny ships with colorful flags would be great to lure any Somali pirate to his doom.

Somalia doesn't have pirates -- but they have lots and lots of terrorists.

Q ship bump. We could shoot some white paint on an old MSTS ship if any are still around. Some of these had gun mounts already...

Pompey the Great of Ancient Rome was able to clear the Mediterranean of Pirates. The key is to be utterly ruthless. Make 'em know that crime don't pay.
This works for all kinds of Islamics pirates.

Sounds like a great idea. Hope the cruise ships take the necessary precautions. I can only imagine the horror and carnage had the pirates succeeded in boarding the ship.

We cleared the Barbary Coast too.

Every third world country with substantial coastline(maybe excepting Vietnam) has pirates. Some have terrorists also.

Ship's Passengers Recall Pirate AttackThis is not all that suprising. Your ship is attacked and - SUPRISE - you can still remember it two days later. Amazing!

They ran out of things to call terrorists so they came up with 'pirate' to cause viewers to hark back to the swashbuckling age of piracy on the high seas. How picturesque. The MSM never ceases to test the credulity of the kool aid drinkers who STILL tune in

"viewers to hark back to the swashbuckling age of piracy on the high seas." Pirates back then were a pretty blood-thirsty and brutal lot too.

with smiles visible on faces otherwise hidden by ski masks. Well at least they LIKE they're jobs. I wish I could say the same for creepy kids at Starbucks who wear frowns like terrorists with faces that SHOULD be hidden by ski masks.

if they're in it for money, loot and rapine, I'd call them pirates. Funny how those are the benefits of doing battle for Islam, though, isn't it.
