SMILE! My buddys a Marine hiding in the hold about to Kill you! HAHA FUCK YOU Somali!
(hes told me a few good storys of how they piss their pants and throw their guns when they see the US MARINES!)
A large group of manly men out on a boat for weeks at a time is suddenly boarded and dominated by another group of men…
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, if that’s what you’re into.
why this shipping companies cant hire blackwater contractors (or whatever the fuck they want to call themselves) and attach some heavy weaponry to these vessels I have no clue. All they would need would be maybe a single 105mm recoilless rifle, 2x dual 20mm cannons, and then 4x .50 cal machine guns. Then when the pirates approach light those fuckers up, turn their bodies into a fucking splatter painting.
Nothing like mistaking a German Navy ship for a target: latimesblogs.latimes.com/babylonbeyond/2009/03/gulf-of-aden-pi.html
Look, over there! Its Steve Zissou and his crew…
@...dhg4983: Because those container ships eventually have to dock at a civilian port of a foreign country. How do you think New York Port Authority would respond to a foreign ships armed with military-grade weapons coming and going? That’s a serious security risk if not a technical act of war.
Here’s a rule-of-thumb: if you have a great idea on how to “fix” a problem that takes less that two minutes to come up with, ask yourself why no one else has that of it. That goes double for any idea that involves weapons or explosives.
Great snapshot. Go pirates! If I was piss poor and my country was outright corrupt(sorta is) I’d do the same thing. Plus you get to pull the “I’m holding a AK-47 and Machete, so fuck you!” pose.
@...vygramul: HOLY SHIT THAT IS AWESOME OWNAGE “five-hour chase by Greek, Dutch, Spanish and U.S. warships” MY GOD LOLOLOLOL
the assualt team was U.S. amphibious assault ship Boxer and two U.S. Marine Cobra helicopters. I’d piss my pants if 2 of these were after me. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cc/AH-1_SuperCobra,_Al_Asad_Air_Base_(2164256645).jpg

@...token2k6: Gotta dig the David Bowie covers in Portuguese!
You know ,this is a ridiculous situation.Some of the most potent,modern and heavily armed warships afloat are not being permitted to deal effectively with what are simply thugs.If faced with a weapon most law enforcement or military personnel are trained to instantly react to the threat.If you are in a small vessel,in international waters and you are armed with RPG-7`s and assault rifles then the obvious conclusion is that you are not fishing to feed your family.Political sensitivities be damned.Attack them,already!
@...mikoyangurevich15: not really because they have to take all precautions there is a possiblity that there is a hostage on that ship that why they always bring in commandos.
@ColombianMonkey.I meant targeting the potential hijackers vessel.If arms are on board,this is proof of hostile intent.Hostage “rescue” is more often than not a messy affair.It seldom works out as planned.So prevent that scenario from the start.
@...mikoyangurevich15: i understand what you say but, as how the system goes save a life no matter what, only if cannot then sacrifices has to be made. but if say you are kidnapped by Taliban for example, your country will negotiate and if it fails they send the commandos to get you IF they know WHERE you are..
Holy Shit! Your not going to believe this but that is my orange t-shirt that Somali Pirate on top is wearing! I put it and several other old clothing items in a charity drop box in Northern California about a year and a half ago. Whamo! there is my shirt commandeering a huge ocean going vessel! Way to go shirt!
@...dhg4983:Not to mention that the insurance companies figure it is less expensive to pay ransom than to deal with the legal intanglements of insuring and operating an armed ship.
We (CV64 battle group) were passing through the straits around Malaysia on our way to the Persian Gulf in 94. Some twits in a 30ft boat, no flag, waving weapons, came out of a little island and went after our tender. Guess they didn’t see the cruisers or us on the carrier spread out. The pair of F 14 Tomcats on low cap did see them, dropped to about 75 feet off the deck, and was doing about 1.2 mach when they passed over the little boat. 2 days later scuttlebutt was that the Government of Malaysia was protesting our “accidental” sinking of a police watercraft. So no, we are not allow to just sink any one out there with guns in the bow.
