“How else could 20 armed pirates actually seize a vessel twice the size of a carrier?”
because these ships have very few people on board. So the pirates are usually very close or on board before the crew knows it.
Black Ops, Special forces, Navy seals.....
show it on TV...
repeat as necessary. set up traps, and sting operations...track the perps back to the sources..
no place to hide, no refuge.
