“The Iceberg’s exact location was unknown until the McFaul made a positive identification of the pirated ship on May 19.”

Good job USS McFaul.

Now radio the nearest Russian warship to do the jobs Americans won’t do.

“Worldwide hijackings rise as pirates expand area of operation”
Wednesday, 21 April 2010

MAP CAPTION: “Somali pirates range far beyond their shores to hijack vessels”

SNIPPET: “Somali pirates were responsible for 35 of the 67 piracy incidents reported worldwide during the first quarter of the year, the ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB) reported today.

The number of incidents represents a sharp drop from the 102 attacks reported during the first quarter of last year. “This marked reduction can be attributed to the continued presence and success of the navies in the Gulf of Aden along with the robust anti piracy measures adopted by the merchant navy fleet,” the report said.

Twenty-six vessels were boarded during the first quarter of 2010, with 18 ships fired upon, 12 suffering from attempted attacks, and 11 vessels hijacked. A total of 194 crew members were taken hostage, 12 of whom were injured.

The east and south coast of Somalia recorded 18 incidents including five vessels hijacked and 11 fired upon in the first quarter of 2010 compared with 21 incidents including four vessels hijacked and 11fired upon for the corresponding period in 2009. Within the Gulf of Aden and in the adjacent Red and Arabian Seas 17 incidents were reported, including the hijacking of four vessels, compared with 41 incidents, including five hijacked vessels, in the first quarter of 2009.

“Somali pirates are dangerous and are prepared to fire their automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades at vessels in order to stop them,” the report said.

But even as the total number of incidents decline, the range of action by Somali pirates continues to expand, spreading from the Gulf of Aden and the southern part of the Red Sea to the coasts off Kenya, Tanzania, the Seychelles, and even Madagascar in the Indian Ocean and Oman in the Arabian Sea.”

And under orders from Obama, the US Naval vessel quickly surrendered to the pirates.

“Given the report of heavily armed pirates on board, it was more prudent to monitor the ship’s movement, rather than attempt a rescue,”

Are they kidding me? I am thinking seriously about changing my FR name from NavyCanDo to somthing else. Are Navy is not alowed to anymore.

Does the rest of the title read, “Pirates Thankful it was not Russians who Found them?”

They ordered the pirates to follow them to Massachusetts for free health care, food stamps, and in-state tuition paid for with US government loans.

The Russians need to get involved to put the pirates on another raft 2,000 miles from any shore (and without food/water/paddles/etc.).

The Russians do this particular job better than any other country in the world, in my book.

coalition warships and also by the use of best management practices by the shipping industry. These practices include the use of razor wire, 24-hour watches, fire hoses and high-speed maneuvers by vessels transiting throughout the area.

Or in simplified terms: coalition warships running scared through the area.
