Somailian pirates attack Maresk ship again

[M-technik-3]

An on-board security team repelled the attack by using evasive maneuvers, small-arms fire and a Long Range Acoustic Device, which can beam earsplitting alarm tones, the fleet said.

This was experimental last I had heard. Serious money in high seas piracy these days and for years.

I read about it this morning... I applaud the ship owners for hiring the security team, if every ship had a crew like that the pirates would suck balls.
If I was the owner I would supply the security of my ship with self propel rockets and missiles, in addition to 50 caliber guns and other explosives :pimp:

There are Maritime issues having an arsenal on board. USAF fly's predator drones off Somali now seems it's helping somewhat.

I always find it funny to read about pirates in our present time. They should come up with something else to call them.

I wholeheartedly agree.

[M-technik-3]

Why, it's what they are. What are yoy gonna say they hijackers?

[87-325ic]

terrerrists! duh!

[E30Kaiser]

Yeah, I agree pirate is the best name for them. Calling them anything else would be silly, I am tired of people coming up with long names for things like this in today's world, when an easy and accurate 1 word answer will do.

Must everything be politically correct?

"Open Sea Holdup Artist" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Yes but its going to hurt since Spain is paying out. Gonna be a spike.

Last I heard Spain said shove it to them, but offered to dump the stains in another country for trial.

Spain didnt refute the statement that they paid $3mil for the people.
