I suppose they didn’t want to disclose what kind of weapons the ship has onboard. I was hoping they would say they were blowing the pirate boats to smithereens.

“I suppose they didn’t want to disclose what kind of weapons the ship has on board. I was hoping they would say they were blowing the pirate boats to smithereens.”

Technically, one might say that THE SHIP has no weapons as it is a long standing tradition for ship crews to be unarmed - Ship owners want their Captain to finish his mission and not be the subject of a mutiny.

This is why the ship owner has hired Guards to protect the ship - they are not part of the crew nor, really part of the ship, per se -— if you understand my subtle point.

I do hope with you that the guards have some kick-ass firepower!
