[-Matt-]

obviously not smart pirates.... who in their right mind would fire on a US navel vessel.

[Phrog_gunner]

Their one chance to shoot ppl on the high seas aka no rules, and they take prisoners. FAIL!

Got a point there as there will be an investigation now. Blast them out of the water, dammit!:flamer:

It's NAVAL, navel is something your boyfriend collects lint in and you scoop out with your tounge.

yea the navy has bigger guns ........ Fail

[dirtybird82]

Isn't it like 4 or 5 to 0? The Navy Seals got them some, and I know I've heard a few other times where these idiot pirates "attacked" one of our ships before. Either way I say kill em all, let God sort em out :D

[Blackened300a]

I just read that before. Now if tankers were allowed to carry some firepower, there wouldn't be any pirate attacks at all.

You'd think that once the Navy actaully got fired upon they would have unleashed something like this on the pirates:

BTW: I know the Phalanx is for surface to air...but I bet it would cut a huge channel in the ocean!

I'm all down for reinstating Q-Boats. Get some ships done up to look like merchant vessels with a crew of soldiers or, for lack of a better word, "mercinaries" on board and just wait to be attacked, act like a frightened crew and then erase these oil spots from existance. There ya go, we can be environmentally friendly and codename this, "Simple Green".

They are attacking cruise ships too. That could be fixed by offering some "Live Fire" activities for the tourists. ;)

I'm not sure if you want weapons such as rocket launchers on tankers, cruise ships though...... I'ld sign up for that vacation. :D

LMAO!

Hmmmm, Let's see....:hmmm:.....sign up for shuffleboard, the climbing wall,...or 'Pirate shooting' with a .50cal???

" Sir, have you been drinking any beers today? "
" On an 'all you can drink' cruise?....Why NO! "
" OK! How many .50cal rounds do you want to shoot? "
" Awwww....Gimme two belts of ammo!....BURP! "

Dibbs on the "skittles" rounds.

Prisoners?? What the heck for? Should have sent those bastards to Davy Jones' locker.

[mrjones]

There should've been no prisoners, only debris.

What's that old hot-roodder saying "There's no replacement for displacement."? Same thing applies with the battleships, lol.

[Egon Spengler]

My grandfather would be pissed right now if he knew that the Navy fought pirates and there were survivors!
