Cargo Ship defends itself

[Steve Dallas]

Well, looks like they are protecting themselves a little more forcefully these days.

Why they haven't been doing this all along, I'll never know.

From the comments
"As a Deck officer than often sails through GOA and Indian Ocean all I can say is GOOD RIDDANCE. It is about time someone takes appropriative action against plague of piracy. It makes me sick when I read Piracy Prevention guidance notes and orders and see "use fire hoses", "put some dummies on the poop deck" "armed guards are not recommended". They say, don't bring a knife to a gun fight, yet they ask us to go in with ****ing fire hoses. They ignore the fact that the armed guards are the most effective piracy prevention method and there had not been a single case of a vessel with armed guards that has been captured or had any causalities. I will never order my seamen to stand there with fire hoses in hail of gunfire. I have no compassion for that scum, I have done nothing to this people yet they shoot RPGs at me and my vessel. And lets remember that piracy is not limited to Somalia, Nigeria is a growing problem as well, with much more violent captors."

LOL, I think that comment was a Reddit comment, not in the YouTube comments I linked to. Wait...how did I know that?

I think my favorite comment was:
"The first few rounds were off-target, and gave the pirates a chance to change direction...which they did not. Due to the lack of immediate direction change, fire was re-directed onto target. Warning shots are not code for "let's talk", they're code for "you have merely seconds to convince me to let you live"."

Awesome! That il learn them SOBs.

Assad: Nafid, we shall be rich! Let's go attack that ship there.
Nafid: So, let me get this straight. We motor towards the ship in broad daylight, scale the sides of the ship using a grappling hook, run along an empty deck, all while not under fire from that big tower.
Assad: But we'll be rich!
Nafid: OK, sounds good!

I enjoyed seeing that vidio WAY too much. Nothing better than seeing pieces of shat get theirs.

Somalia. If you believe in Evolution, its very close to the birthplace of all man-kind.

International law. What they did on that ship is illegal but exactly what needs to be done. Kill every one of those SOBs and it won't be long before they figure out that they need to find a new line of work. This is a blaring example of what the gun grabbers do not understand. If you disarm the law abiding public you leave them unable to defend themselves against those who don't care about laws.

Ah, a fellow Redditor.

Though I don't disagree with somali pirates and other hijackers, in some situations it is all they can do to even attempt at supporting them selves and their families. IMO it isn't disarming the good so that the bad can take over it is the good thrown into bad situations that become the bad. Interesting video as always Steve.

"Careful you idiot, I said across her nose not up it!"

"Who made that man a gunner?"

[IrocJack]

That warning shot went right to good riddance, love it.

[J666]

I can only hope that they're dead.

[Matster]

Ther only thing I see wrong with this video is that they don't have a couple of these mounted and in use. With a range of 4.2 miles they would be able to keep them from even getting close and feed the local shark population at the same time.

I think a warning shot from the good ol' Ma-Deuce would scare off just about any sane person.

[iHasCamaro]

They SHOULD have some GE Miniguns, but at the very least get some ACOG's on those AR's lol.

LOL I could actually see that as the conversation.
