  • Why don't they just torture the pirates with AC/DC until they surrender?

      Torpedo that ****er. Or ask the Argies to come by and use an old exocet on it. Maybe surface an SSN with mounted deck gun next to it.

      BOOM

      I think that would make Mr Phillips and family a bit pissed.
      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      • If he has any brains he'll go overboard when he sees torp/missile/sub headed toward him.

        And pirates will be too busy doing the same to shoot him.

        • What if some Navy SEALS dove under the lifeboat and drilled holes into it?

          Pirates could either surrender and be rescued or drown.

          Maybe combine this with AC/DC blaring for optimal effectivness.

            No, surface an SSN under the boat, and when the pirates jump out to storm the conning tower, WHOOSH! Submerge again!
            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                Class acts!

                • You know, razor wire over the life rails would put most of these pirates out of buisness if I understand their tactics correctly. I am sure it is within most shipping company's budgets to accomplish.

                      I'm sure that's not a safety issue at all...

                      • Apparently an Israeli merchant vessel did just that and it worked.

                          Sacrifices have to be mad

                          The only have to put it up at night when the hijackers are out prowling. At night merchant vessels only normally have two people up anyway, a bridge watch and an engineering watch, and both are inside.

                          Or they could just anti up some overtime for a lookout and a pair of NVGs, cheap bastards.

                            • I've seen that too, though it wasn't on. It was just a normal cattle fence type system installed around the normal life lines.

                                With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
