I am amazed at the pathetic excuses for this being offered on this thread. Not armed? How expensive would it be to outfit it with about four MaDeuces? Not a combat vessel? Who, in their right mind, would consider engaging a couple of ragtag pirate boats combat?
We ship ammo in unarmed boats??? How about gold? We deserve Obama. We’re stupid
Why would the U.S. Navy run from pirates- shouldn’t it be the other way around?
