Capt Ciro Pinto said six pirates in a speedboat approached his ship, the Melody, and opened fire, but then fled after security men fired in the air.

Maybe this incident will incite more private security teams to be placed on ships, certainly seemd to help in this case.

I saw that yesterday. But seriously WTF? "lots of passengers on deck watching it unfold and they even took action themselves by throwing chairs overboard, trying to hit the pirates" Are they trying to get shot? And yeah, they were lucky none of the pirates were carrying an RPG.

What the fuck is a luxury cruise ship doing off the coast of Somalia, I mean seriously, the Captain should be at the very least fired for being grossly incompetent, and the pirates were probably so much in disbelief at what they were seeing that they couldn't even get themselves sorted out

And if I remember the story right, it was an Israeli security team on board, so it wasn't Italians that did the job (c wat i did there)

The ship was on a cruise from South Africa to Italy. It was now headed as scheduled for the Jordanian port of Aqaba.

I'm not sure if you have a habit of reading articles before you post, but it would probably help prevent yourself looking like an idiot in future. Fired for being grossly incompetent? I lol'd

So would you prefer they go around Africa? You know Africa isn't a tiny island right?

Anyway just give every damn crew member a good 'ol AKM to fight back with. Up until the hostage captain situation they weren't even hesitating in taking huge ships because there was no threat.

Considering the destination, what's wrong with going up the west coast?

V.O.C. mentality tbh. Equip every merchant ship with just one of these, a single relatively light weapon, and no pirate will bother them:

So they take the well known dangerous route instead of, at the very least, going the other way round? And nobody says anything? No, it's still stupid, nice try though.

Too small

20mm or 30mm auto would be fine, but I figured this would be a nice compromise in between those and a .50 cal.
