Thanks for the pic. in post no. 49. I see our old friend who looted a case of Heineken from a store in New Orleans after Katrina is now an evacuee off the coast of Somalia. Always like to see these success stories with happy endings.

A battleship would be overkill and a violation of economy of force.
A nice little corvette with a deck gun would do just fine. Or just have a sub over there periodically check the area for mother ships and deal with them as they reveal themselves.

What is this? Looks stealthy. Is it like a stealth "hanger" for a attack craft? Our's I hope.

USS Virginia is a fast-attack boat, not a boomer.
I think she's just right for taking out the 'mothership'. One torpedo, and the bad guys are off to enjoy their 72 raisins.

Why not a sniper on board the cruise liner?

a luxury cruise liner off Somalia's coast Why would anyone take a luxury cruise to Somalia? Sounds like the last place in the world I'd like to go.

Great story, very possibly true.
I recall a similar story from 25 or so years ago regarding a mideast Soviet diplomat kidnapped for ransom by Palis/Arabs. Soviet special forces kidnapped members of the kidnappers family, cut off a couple of ears and sent them to the arab kidnappers.
Said soviet kidnappees were released. Immediately.
Today, the 'rats want us to play tag with Al Quada and worry about their civil rights.

Yes, I just did it. I thought maybe the Tourist Guy was too overdone to include, but he looks good there. Like he's having a fun time.

No - not overdone. I saw Tourist Guy immediately but didn't see Looter Man. The two of them in there together are hysterical.

"The Soviets then lined the pirates up against the railing and proceeded to shoot every two men .... "Let's not forget that the Soviets also shot a U.S. Army officer in East Germany (Berlin ? ) and left him to bleed to death in the street (pictures were in the papers). They told his driver that if he went to help the officer, he also would be shot.
