He said a French naval vessel in the area had confirmed the ship was hijacked but was unable to intervene because it could not enter Somali waters

Wasn't an American destroyer inside Somali waters the other day for gunnery training?

My daughter is an officer on a DDG and she said they ran anti-piracy training all the time.

No pirates attacked any ship within 100 miles of them. I think the pirates know we are not kidding. We WILL take forceful action on any pirates that would dare to challenge our shipping.

Now the French.......
