4 Pirates catured
 

Anybody hear of 4 Somali 'suspected pirates' captured aboard a Japanese ship by US Forces?

Can they walk the plank?

keelhaul.

Let em swim back!

With toothpicks jammed under their fingernails.

Hang them from the yardarms!

Ok, I know ships don't have yardarms any more, and hanging them from the radar mast or some other part of the superstructure could damage the ship, but there has to be someplace from which they can be hung.

A simple message: if we catch pirates in the act you will be killed - immediately and without regret or remorse.

If a pirate vessel is caught in the act, it will be sunk (or returned to its rightful owners).

On this topic, I recall a good story showing that the Indian Navy is kicking some butt, and carrying on the tradition of British understatement:

An Indian Navy frigate encountered a pirate vessel who made the mistake of firing on the frigate. As I recall, the captain was quoted as saying that he didn't know if they sunk it, but after sustained fire for all caliber of weapons aboard the frigate, the pirate vessel was on fire from stem to stern when they departed.

One can only cheer.

Bingo. Or do what the Russians do and set them adrift then set the boat afire.

before an AMERICAN fighting man pulls the trigger, he must decide whether intense scrutiny by powerfull liberal groups will cost him jail time, prison time, or just monster legal fees.
rich man war, poor man fight.

The Russians kept the pirates, just set their boat on fire. ;)

Prepare for awesome!

Russia: Freed Somali Pirates Are Probably Dead

My favorite part:

The lack of an international court to try pirates means "we'll have to do what our forefathers did when they met the pirates," Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said...

That's fine. Still weren't done blowed up. ;)

SmileWavy Ain't that a shame.

Mayhap you meant this article?

U.S. Navy frees ship from suspected Indian Ocean pirates - CNN.com

Nope. Referenced the other thread already. Got other things to do, than dwell on this though.

:confused: Drew1 asked if anyone had heard about that article with the oil tanker. Thus I link :cool:.
