Moral of the Story: Don't Mess with the Amerians

I was eating breakfast this morning in the cafeteria when CNN had a "breaking news alert" saying that a tanker piloted by an American crew was hijacked by Somali Pirates. I said good luck to the pirates, because you don't mess with the US Navy- and either the Seals got to the pirates or the crew has balls (or acorns) of steel, because they retook the ship and disarmed the terrorists. Three are apparantly in the water with one captive- now THATs what I call running a ship! These pirates need to get their act together if they are going to appear professional- or mount some 50 cals on those tankers- pressure them to fire at you, then the navies of the World have to step in.





But why not listen to the Engineers? Throw in one of those handy USV crafts (Protector USV) to do the job! It's a somewhat expensive solution, but you do get more entertainment in blowing up Somali Pirates.
