I would have navy seals SCUBA under the boat at night and release knock out gas and then ass rape all of them (including the captain) before sinking the life boat with a shaped C4 charge.

What about E!

Give them fake/marked bills and then nuke em. We're talking about somali pirates here.

I like the way you think.

I doubt they risk getting paid with marked bills.

Have the ship owners hire mercenaries, have international law include statutes on trespassing. In the eventuality of a pirate entering a ship, the mercenaries may, however they see fit, eliminate a threat from boarding a shipowners property. It would, in effect, be the same as hiring private guards on your property. That way taxpayers won't have to pay for military deployments and ship owners would get their necessary protection provided they pay a fee which would be significantly lower than a potential ransom payment reaching millions.

can't
shipping insurance would actually skyrocket if they even had guns aboard which would make shipping fees for the products inflate

I don't understand why insurance will skyrocket if they have guns aboard. Shouldn't insurance be increasing anyway because of the fact that there are fucking pirates taking over ships?

It's hard to end these things by brute force, the French recently managed to free some rich French hostages who were for some reason boating in their yacht in the region (wtf) but that was at the cost of a hostage being killed by the pirates. I'd imagine saving one man from a group of pirates would be pretty hard, especially on a boat. Especially on a boat that isn't even that big


I just heard reports of another US ship with lots of Italian crew being hijacked, it's ramping up pretty bad this month, only a matter of time until the Somalian ports are attacked by someone

Situation:You have multiple battleshits in the area. Inside the perimeter, you have four skinnys on a rowboat with a hostage.

What do you do?
A- Order for marine sharpshooters to simultaneously kill all four pirates.
B- Give them their measly 2 million random. (Whats that compared to the piracy of the Fed? thats baby stuff.)
C- Sit around and do nothing while knowing that you have no experience in this sort of thing.
D- Hope.

What is wrong with patroling the waters and sinking any pirate ship that they come across. I am not sure how this should even be an issue.

I am not a sailor, so I really do not understand how pirates are able to board these massive ships so easily. It would seem to me all ya gotta do is NOT STOP.

I would imagine that along with ak-47s the pirates would also have RPGs which, if aimed correctly at the engine or on vulnerable areas, could seriously fuck up the ship

Would it not be cheaper to arm a ship than to pay a ransom everytime they round the horn of Africa? Just blow the fuckers out of the water.
