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...

Who would take to the high seas with millions of dollars in cargo and not have the weapons and will to fight off some African punks.

Honestly I don't see why everybody is not just shooting small speed boats near Somalia on sight. I'd sink 'em all and let God sort 'em out. I'd paint a Jolly Rodger on the bow for everyone I sank!

Agreed! Let them loose.

As Billy Bones would say, "Cut 'em down like that much pork."
