There are cameras that capture images clear enough to distinguish between a fishing vessel and a boatload of pirates 10 miles away. There are cascades of water and noxious compounds to repel invaders. And there are shields to withstand a rocket-propelled grenade.
A container ship that steamed into a Puerto Rican port Friday was old by commercial shipping standards but it had the latest in security measures, upgrades that convert it into a floating fortress designed to be impregnable to piracy.

Q-ships, also known as Q-boats, Decoy Vessels, Special Service Ships or Mystery Ships, were heavily armed merchant ships with concealed weaponry, designed to lure other ships or vessels into making surface attacks. This gave Q-ships the chance to open fire and sink them. The basic ethos of every Q-ship was to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I seldom write and advocate direct action, and thus my comments are as I feel and IDGARA to the PC that has swallowed our world while allowing a savage cult to call themselves “peaceful”
Make the place a radioactive parking lot, then make the statement that any and all followers of the cult that feel so inclined to bring about any form of intimidation by social or political means to destabilize this or any other country, the leading center of that cult,s nation shall also have the next glazing.
I am fed (no stinking pun intended) of seeing the future of our nation and many other nations, being devoured by the communist and islamic hoards, My grand children are to be grow in a safe environment, ask everyone you know, “do you want your children to live under communist or islamic rule, was that your desire for them when you chose freely to bring your children into the world?”
We may have grey hair, we know better, we fought, we struggled, we still do, but, BOCAF (Building Our Children A Future) is what we believed in, and damn it, still do...

Last week’s episode of Sons of Guns had some high-seas security guys ordering custom-made Katushya rockets from the guys. It was 15-round mobile battery that could be wheeled to any part of the deck and operated by remote control. It was coold

And a lot more fun than water cannons.
I look forward to our cruise in the Med this fall.. The security should be just fine. It’s when you hit shore, I’d be more concerned and even more alert.

UV or IR lasers with a would be a good choice for antipiracy operations.
Permanently blind the filth and they can’t fight. Then you can kill them with clubs like the animals they are.
Perhaps. But you don’t want to shoot at them and drive them off. Wait until they are still outside RPG range but close enough to hit fairly easily. Blast ‘em to bits with a couple of .50’s and then launch a container of pig’s blood into the water near the sinking boat. Then, sail on.
Just invite Ma Duece aboard.

Dream vacation. I’ll take the launcher. LOL!!!
LOL - you don’t mess around with the small stuff.
I just cancelled my vacation to DisneyWorld! I am booking a berth on this cruise! Is there a limit to the number of bad guys you can bag in a day?
I don’t want to create competition for To The Point Cruise Lines, but . . . I hasve just placed an order for six private submarines and next “hunting season” plan to lease them out so that my clients can experience the excitement of tracking down the bad guys and sinking their mother ships in celebration of some of the great World War II battles at sea. Run Silent, Run Deep!

A true sportsman, you are not cruising for the size of the bag.
