“Arm the damned ships.”
That’s what I’m talkin’ about.
Something as simple as an M2 cal .50. at both the bow and stern. then, if they approach from the port or starboard, you can get interlocking fields of fire!
Woo Hoo!

Fixed emplacements are easily defeated from a moving boat, but shoulder-fired rockets onboard would be a real deterrent to approaching smaller vessels.

I would paint a big American flag on both sides of the ship. The government should provide the armed guard and weapons installation. The sooner we get respect for American shipping, the sooner the pirates will avoid American ships. We need the good press.
