Convoy?
ARM ALL SHIPS!
DUH!
Valuable cargo, in the middle of the ocean, little speedboats with barbarians and machine guns TAKE OVER huge ship?
Are we stuck on stupid?
A suitably armed ship could pick off these pirates before they get anywhere near boarding. Fer cryin’ out loud, we can read license plates from space but we can’t deal with this?
ARM THE SHIPS! Guns fore and aft and hand weapons for everyone. This is ludicrous!
A crew of 21, armed even with .308 semi's, who were trained in their basic use, would make mence meat of four guys trying to baoard a large ship form a skiff.
