Don’t U.S Navy ships carry weapons, including small arms? They ran from these slugs?

The small arms fire fell well short of the U.S. ship which speeded up to evade the skiffs.This is just sickening. They should have turned around and blown those skiffs out of the water. We now have a metrosexual Navy.

"Oh, Abdulla, let us give up this life of pirating, because chasing the Navy is sooooo exhausting - are you sure that was an American flag and not a French one?"

The USNS Lewis and Clark was chased for about an hour on Wednesday morning by two pirates skiffs, but neither came closer than about one nautical mile to the U.S. vessel, the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet said in a statement.

Boat load of ammo and fuel, I'm not surprised they decided to go to flank speed and let the DDGs to the fighting. Could have put some of her helicopters up with a marine with an M-16 hanging out the door. I doubt the pirates have much in the way of AA.

Bizarre. A USN ship should be the last one pirates ever attack. Is our Navy now unarmed?

Supply ships are usually UNarmed, because they have to go into countries that believe that common folks should not be armed. My question is why was there not an armed ship nearby! We do have to guard our supplies in a VERY dangerous world....

That's the trouble with relying on the AK-47
A WWII BREN would have put the bullets on target.
