Somali Pirates ATTACK!

[mirth]

Would the US Navy purposefully rig their ship with running lights that make it look like a freighter to draw these scumbags out?

I doubt it. More likely the pirates got jacked up on khat and decided they were ten feet tall and bullet proof.

"Ok guys. We know two boats isn't enough. Let's try FIVE!"

Idiots  ::)

Yeah,  the Navy doesn't screw around with billion dollar AEGIS cruisers.

We have frigates for the piddly jobs. Oh wait, never mind.

LOL

Makes sense.

Hopefully none of them survived. When their little base camp went, "Where is Acoihgiasldjlm and the boys? They're not back yet," maybe it will sink in not to do this shite, though I doubt it.

Would have been better if the cruiser had let one escape in order to trace them back to base.

Your little pirate faction just declared war on the US. Bye.

Oh, it isn't so little? Bye.

What's that Somalia? You don't like us hitting your soil? Well, are you sponsoring the pirates? Because if you want to support them, that's okay. More targets to choose from; we can always bring over another cruiser. Not supporting the pirates? Then a simple "Thank you" would be nice. Just doing our job.

Just doing your job.

FTFY ;)

We have grown to soft here in the West. just kill the buggers

Apparently that's how the Russians do it:

"So, Kaptain, where are the Somali pirates you captured?"
"Begging the Admiral's pardon but we had to let them go for humanitarian reasons."
"Humanitarian reasons, eh? Did you return them to shore?"
"No Admiral, we sent them back in their leaky boat, far out at sea."
"They attacked your frigate in a leaky boat?!?"
"No admiral, it was not leaky when we took them prisoner."
"How did it get that way?"
"Ensign Tamarov accidentally discharged his AKM into the boat's hull, all along the keel,
       three magazines were expended before he was able to control his weapon. Maybe four..."
"And the pirates, Kaptain? Could they have plugged the leaks and made it to land?"
"Highly unlikely Admiral, as they were already in the boat the entire time..."
