That's tough duty, policing those pirates around the lawless Horn of Africa. Cheers to them all.

One of the comments after the article was perfect:

" . . . they ought to soak the pirates in blood and feed them to the sharks."

Not exactly proper procedure, but not a <span style="font-style: italic">terrible</span> idea, either.

LOL! :lol:
 
oh-dark-thirty.....all the pirates knew is something big and floating.

Too bad we cannot commit an SSN to the job......."surface-surface-surface" underneath the SOB's, break the keel, then submerge and wait for the "mother ship" to show up and do it again.

All the arms they have won't touch 3" CReS pressure hulls
 
"We are still evaluating different options" on how to deal with the detainees, Lieutenant Patrick Foughty, spokesman for the Sixth Fleet, told AFP.


Just let 'em go.

...over th' side. Tell 'em they can go home now.

I couldn't agree more -- and I'm normally as liberal/peaceful as you could imagine. Seems like a perfectly simple solution to the complications of getting these losers to a court. If they can swim to shore, then I can consider them absolved. :smile:

I like to keep 'em guessing -- I'm a pragmatic, open minded sort, and if they don't like that I'm a pretty good shot.

doc, growing up in sheepshead bay we always had at least one boat, my dad being a navy guy began teaching my brother and i about the sea and ships/boats at a very young age, anytime we didnt perform a task to dads liking he would say "your going to be "keelhauled", what that means is that your hands and feet would be tied together with two seperate lengths of rope/line, then youd be taken to the bow, one line would be held by the crew on the port side the other held on the starboard, while under way youd be pushed off the bow while the crew holding the lines taught walked topside down along the length of the boat keeping you centered under the boats keel as you tumbled from stem to stern, ever bump into a "barnacle and have salt water enter the cut, they would do this any number of times depending on the severity of the infraction, if you survived youd be a changed man, perhaps the navy should revisit this form of punishment.
 
Well.... they had a chance for that "keelhauled" event.... The navy sunk another ship, a mother ship, but they let the 11 somali pirates go.... I guess they missed cleaning under the boat, as it were.
 
We grew up on Lake Erie, sailing and skiing. Once decided to try that as an insight into what it may have been like in th' "Old Days"...

The boat was an O'Day "Sprite" IIRC. 12' day sailer, aluminum centerboard keel. Unfortunately it wasn't fully retracted.

No scar, but the bruise was apparent for a while. 12-year-olds. sheesh. :shocked: :jester:
 
That wuz when we healed fast. Now it seems a death-cheat jus' to get outta bed inna morning. :jester:
