I would think a couple of 50 cal. machine guns and the will to use them would work just as well.

[skimbell]

Here you go....one "Anti-Piracy Device" comin' up.

Courtesy of Browning-still works pretty good!

[Vendome]

Hell I could use those for my car so I could distinguish between pork and the rest of us citizens.

[hosepipe]

With a 20mm all you would need to do was shoot the boat.. most any boat..

[hosepipe]

OR shoot AT THE BOAT.. they would run..

There are cascades of water and noxious compounds to repel invaders

There are also machine guns and other ordinance to repel invaders. This modern penchant, from lefties, for using non-lethal means against people who are trying to shoot you with real weapons is sheer folly.

[samtheman]

There’s a fundamental dysfunction, deep in the heart of civilization, that allows decent law-abiding seafaring folk to go out defenseless against savage f*ing criminals who don’t deserve the oxygen they breathe. A fundamental dysfunctional disconnect.

Arm the ships!
Blast the pirates to kingdom come!

The rest is BS.

Lets start a Pirate Hunting Cruise adventure business.

[Nuc 1.1]

5”/54s it's the only way to be sure.

[Navy Patriot]

OK, but we need a good offense too.

Bait ships with unseen military support within immediate striking distance. Shipboard tribunals, interrogation and execution of pirates, and punishment strikes on the ports they sailed from, if they do not capture and surrender all on shore pirates.

In one year there would be no sea piracy on the planet.

[WKUHilltopper]

Just mount some .50s and .30s on the deck...sheesh, they’re coming at you in frickin’ jon boats, for crikes sakes!

[blueunicorn6]

Just book that Rosie O’Donnell gay cruise for the east coast of Africa. Let those pirates get on that ship and you’ll see some puking and screaming.

[PowderMonkey]

"but it had the latest in security measures, upgrades that convert it into a floating fortress designed to be impregnable to piracy."

"Impregnable"? No such thing. The European landscape is littered with the bones of broken castles once deemed "impregnable." Nothing was ever won by defensive tactics. If you want to eliminate the threat of piracy on the high seas, you must go on offense. In the extreme. Attack and destroy it.

[NormsRevenge]

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.

[MichaelP]

How much do you think all that costs? How much does it cost to hire armed security specialists when you are in pirate waters? I bet I know which is more cost effective and is a deterrent too...

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.

[Logical me]

Governments have always allowed victims. It is the only way they can justify their existence of being a protector. Always work after you are killed.
