“Above: Somali Pirates leaving Harbor”

They have some larger ships (pictures posted in another thread) that act as mother ships.

The larger ships were commandeered in the past.

The British Navy...why am I not surprised? If it’s not us, its them. The totality of the free world lies under the Anglo-American umbrella.

I do hope they instruct the sailors that fighting back is the proper and expected thing to do when confronted by pirates.

It would be quite an embarrassment for a British naval vessel to fall prey to somali pirates...

That is what the Somali Pirates will say when they see that boat. “Frigate!, I’m out of here”

Hope the Brits show more cajones than they did when the Iranians took a few of them hostage a little while ago.

The very fact that any band of thugs like these can be allowed to exist in our world today speaks volumes about a planet full of multicultural worshiping pansies.

These "pirates" need a dose of the Royal Navy of old.

I thought they were warned to leave the pirates alone because of possible human rights concerns.
