I didn't think priates still exsisted, but apparently they do.

Time for our Navy to make up an old feighter or two. Like the German raiders of WW II. Intel on shipping and communications has gotten better so they would need a good cover story.
A big fat feighter loaded for food heading to ports further south would look like a nice target. As the little boats approach a chopper gun ship takes off from the screened deck. Game, set and match.
Nice thing about a chopper is it could fly on and off between ports to a Navy support ship over the horizon and the ship could be really hauling cargo.

If it were my cruise ship I'd charge the passengers extra to view pirates in their natural habitat, take pictures of the passengers with the so-called pirates in the back ground and…. charge a $10,000 fee for a "pirate game license" good for one dead pirate, when shot with a ship issued 338 Lupua.
Capitalism at its finest !:rolleyes:

I have no idea what a priate is.
Installation of a CIWS on cruise ships would discourage unauthorized boarding attempts and could act as chlorination in the local gene pool.

I moved this to the GD forum. These "pirates" are not terrorists, just stupid natives doing what comes natural in Africa.

Not a target rich enough environment.

This was recommended to me a while ago.
I have it on my to-read list, but haven't got to it yet:
