About f-ing time that the tankers plying those waters employed "private security" who use deadly force against pirates.
Use of any nation's navel forces on board is, however, a non-starter under the law of the seas. |

Depends on how far out they were, if by 600 yards they're 'dialing' in I think that's a reasonable approach. At least they had something to use for 'warning shots.' Why every port in Somalia isn't a burning heap is beyond me, hell part of me secretly hopes the next ship the pirates hijack and kill the crew turns out to be a Chinese or Russian flagged. At least we'd get to see some pirate shark-food made then. |

You would think that any ship going to that area would have a half dozen semi auto AK's available. Or even pump shotguns with slugs and buckshot.

Warning shots have been SOP for maritime operations for a LONG time.
The pirates typically like to attack during calm seas, which is a plus for those security crew in terms of a shooting stability. |

A large ship has to provide a MUCH more stable shooting platform than those little dhows... particularly in rougher seas.
Hitting them before they can hit you should be a piece of cake. |

I'm pretty sure that a "kill 'em all" approach is still considered a-ok when it comes to piracy. Nobody has the stones to actually do it, though (okay, except the Russians.) |

UNCLOS talks about warships being the only ones to arrest pirates. doesn't say anything about shipriders for self defense. It's not a good idea though. Too many ships, not enough people to go around, or platforms to get them there and pick them back up, or food, or berthing, or any number of other things. |

Because LOST is as fucked up a document as any ever written by the hand of man.
My version of warning shots is fired at the Central T, a T-shaped region drawn between the eyes and centrally running down the neck. The first dead pirate is adequate warning for the rest of them to back off and go fishing. CJ |
