Cool video of Gettysburg’s Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment coming up on a pirate mothership off Somalia.
Hard to make run for it when an armed helo is off your beam.

*Now, that’s the way to do it.* The US Navy and The USCG offering assistance to the pirates. For all we know, they could be “assisting” them to the nearest land, the bottom. Note, I never used the phrase, “dry land”, just land.

To bad if any of the flexicuffed pirates jumped overboard trying to escape. We should do nothing to tray to apprehend them again if they do so.
We should also be sure to take gifts when meeting these foreigners. A nice GPS tracking device attached to the hull, for instance. Or a limpet mine quietly attached to give them a wake up call a few hours later.
Of course, my preferred solution is to run each up the nearest halyard. No quarter for pirates encountered in the act on the high seas. Let the lawyers have at them if found ashore, but not if they are underway and outside national waters.
I know I’m the silly one around here, but I saw a bunch of folks with ballistic vests on and arms, legs, and faces exposed.
Which, granted if you’re shot in the arm that’s a long way from your heart and you’ll likely survive.
But why not protect in the first place?
I’m just asking..

Darn. I had the sound turned down and everything waiting for the “ready, aim, fire” part . . . and all we got was 17 more mouths to feed and house instead of a good lesson for the pirate wannabees of the world.
What a waste of time. I’m pretty sure the 5 inch guns on Gettysburg can deliver all the peace, love and understanding those pirates deserve.
Say no to unnecessary zodiac rides, save the planet, don’t waste fuel when lead can do the job.
(also feed the fish in the process)
5″ guns? Concur. Something historically apropos about that choice. Though I reckon an old Bug driver like Lex might opt for a Rockeye so there’d be a few pieces left to watch burn.
Rockeyes don’t jam.
2.75’s w/flechettes do not jam either. Rather effective weapon, though not sure they are still used.
