Darn! That’s at least 9 mother ships they have sunk just today!

[WorkingClassFilth]

Glad to see that there are some others (India) in this world willing to do the right thing and take out the garbage.

It’s so funny, as though it is some difficult task for a modern navy to deal with these ‘pirates’. What a joke. They are sitting ducks, out in the middle of the ocean, no one is around with a TV camera, just blast their asses into the drink.

[ShiveringShegetz]

Aaargh, we be making you walk the plank, matey!

[omega4179]

They have more grapefruits then the USA or Russia or Saudi.

Didn’t know India had a Navy...but they will curry favor with the US if they can help kill a few of these Islamo Fascists.

Exactly, these pirates should be used as live targets for war games and maneuvers.

[lewisglad]

I don't think they have a plank!

[MrB]

I wonder how many points the mothership was worth...

[MrB]

fine, be that way.

One of very few Navies that operates aircraft carriers. They fly the Harrier, but in the past they've flown conventional take off jets from their carriers as well.

Hey that's my case of Heineken from New Orleans!

With a Mark 48 torpedo from a nuclear attack sub, it wouldn't matter if TV cameras were around or not. One minute, the pirates' ship is floating merrily along. The next minute, the ship goes bye-bye in the blink of an eye. :=)

Very cool. I hope it doesn’t read as racist as it sounds in my head, but I really don’t think of them as that sophisticated, even though I run into a lot of Indian engineers (and in fact work closely with one) who are smart as hell. My wife hates their misogyny and I have seen it, but for the most part I guess I really do not know that much about their culture and structures. Do they have nuclear subs?
