Civilian shipping and passenger ships have generally avoided arming crewmen or hiring armed security for reasons of safety, liability and compliance with the rules of the different countries where they dock.

A possible way around this is for your security crew itself to "attack" the ship soon after it leaves port, board it, "force" the ship to feed them and give them a place to sleep, and when the pirates attack, the security crew just happens to be armed and manning strategic positions on the ship. Then they swiss-cheese a couple of pirates, "demand ransom" themselves, and leave when the ship reaches its destination.

Good for the Italians.

Too bad the security guys were forced to return fire with pistols only.

IMHO, a mounted 50 caliber MG would be a lot more efficient.

Msc hired the Israelis because they were the best trained security agents

I'm sure there are Americans just as good. But Americans aren't beyond the reach of Obummer and Pelosi Truther Squads. The Israelis, thankfully, are.

Pistols ????????? why not racks and slingshots? The Jews make some real fine firearms,The next time let them bring along something from home.

.454 Casull or Desert Eagle pistols in .50 could speak with authority.

.357 from 6" barrels are pretty effective at gunfight range.
