The suspected pirates then opened fire on the Navy ships. Cape St. George and Gonzalez returned fire with small arms in self-defense.

Memo to "pirates" (terrorists): Bad idea. Don't bring an RPG to a 5" .50 cal fight. Actually, they probably used their Bushmasters.

We don't have bushmasters. M-60s, M-14/16s, .50s, 25mm MK38s, MK19s, and the 5"/54. They used a Ma duce (M2HB .50 cal) My best friend is aboard the Gonzo.
