They could have put a Yoko Ono record and gotten the same effect.

The navy should be able to blast 2,3,10 of these bastards out of the water. Send a message and clean up the mess in a matter of weeks. Don't know what's stopping us.

Note the head muslim waving. Can you imagine his expression changing when the crew pulls the canvas cover off of its 50-caliber machine gun?
I can dream, can't I?

Two fifty caliber machine guns and two of the automatic grenade launchers we have mounted on our military vehicles would have done the job.I wouldn't get on one of these cruise ships if all they had to protect you with was a gun that shoots noise.

I would think someone had to have some kind of firearm on that ship and no one even fired back?
Are they not permitted to engage someone that is shooting at them?
To: rdcorso
On my last cruise I shot a lot of skeet off of the back of the boat, and the Dr. on board was the skeet shooting coordinator so I got to know him after a while. I asked him what the had for defense of the ship if something major was to ever happen. He told me that they had buckshot for the shotguns, and after I joking told him that wasn't much he just winked and said they had more than enough down below to handle just about any contingency. It was a Norwegian Cruise Line cruise, and most of the crew that actually took care of the ship are retired military, not the waiters or anything, but I think that on the bigger boats the pirates would have found more resistance than they did with the UN boat they got awhile ago.

In international waters the captain can do anything he wants in protection of his ship. He could have turned the ship and ran them through the screws and all that would have been said by anyone was if he bent one while turning them to fish food, cost of oil being what it is that would have cut the profit margin down on the rest of the voyage.

Why not learn from the C-130:
AC-130H SOF Gunship, 1 105mm howitzer, 1 40mm cannon, and 2 20mm cannon. Equipped with interial guidance and GPS navigation equipment, low-light-level TV.

They could use the old Q boat trick the Brits developed in WW I. Charter a particularly vulnerable and juicy looking civilian vessel, equip it with camouflaged guns, run it in, and wait for the terrorists to attack. Once they take the bait, give them a surprise. Along with making a few subhumans dead, it would send a great message to the others.
To: libstripper
With today's tech it'd be a sinch. The destroyer could even be over the horizon. Send in a cruise missile and scratch the suckers.
Again, what are we waiting for?
