    Actually this is a problem all over the world.. Not large ships like this but smaller ships as well as yachts... They just don't make it well known how dangerous it can be out on the sea..

    Might be a good time to recommission the
    U.S.S. New Jersey.

    Let's see how those Russian T-72 tanks fare with 16 inch Naval guns.
    I'm thinkin' one salvo across the bow, and those pirates would be
    walkin' the plank. :yes2557:

    NEXT shot?

    BOOM
    BOOM
    BOOM

    White flag?
    I din see no white flag.
    But I see dorsal fins in the water.
    Do (great) "white" SHARKS count?

    Do pirates have submarines, .............. yet?

    They don't need to bring back the New Jersey or the Wisconsin... They are testing the latest battleships just off the coast near San Diego... The new ship is called "Fleet 21".. They was tested back in march of this year...

    :director2::director: ~~~~ ONE IF BY LAND -- TWO IF BY SEA!

    I see two.
    LooK!
    Here they come.

    Wholly Cow!
    The Russians Are Commin'!
    The Russians Are Commin'!

    And they're ridin' into Tombstone Territory ridin'
    NEUSTRASHIMY !!
    Who's name translated is "INTREPID".
    Or FEAR THIS SHIP, in street lingo.
    I don't know if pirates understand that though.

    But when the Russians arrive on-scene in a couple of daze,
    the pirates might understand what a
    Guided Missile Frigate is.

    OH!
    FRIGATE!
    :biggrin_2555:
    Patch me eye and peg me leg.

    The Russians are experts when it come to defusing a situation.
    Remember that school in Beslan where the Russians "rescued" those 333 hostages, (almost half were kids) by killin' 'em.
    HaiL!
    That record even beats Janet Reno and her Waco Rescue.

    The party is over ---
    Now, let the party begin. :yes2557:

    Launchski on myski commandski.
    Fear THIS!
