I highly doubt that. The Seahawk probably flew near, looked at them, and then laughed their butts off.![](http://www.cargolaw.com/images/diisaster2006.fortune7.GIF)
I doubt that too. This is the Dutch frigate that we operated with off Somalia in 2006. As you would expect, it looks nothing like the Steve Irwin.
(I saw that container ship too-later, after the fire was out. Do a search on Hyundai Fortune.)

That said, the ruse might not necessarily effective. Fourteen Months ago, Somali pirates attacked a sister ship HNLMS Tromp. thinking it was a merchie.
