I'll bet.

If they were vikings the royal navy wouldn't stand a chance.

Vikings > pirates, I always knew it.

Nobody fucks with Her Majesty's Royal Navy!

Except the Iranians. How fucking stupid are you?

Pirates - 1
HMRN - 1

Betting action favors Navy in the tiebreaker.

Christ on a cracker-get a grip on yourself-whine oh whine!
I agree with Silver Ironist.

It's simple-The Royal Navy's been around a looooong time-they know a thing or two about war, I think...

So when you said "Nobody fucks with Her Majesty's Royal Navy", you mean except for the Iranians that fucked with Her Majesty's Royal Navy 8 months ago and took their boats and their crew?

STFU.

Nobody fucks with Her Majesty's Royal Navy!

Except Jack Sparrow. He's one fucked fucker fucking with the fucking Royal Navy.

Somali Pirates Fire on British Navy

guess brains are optional in Somalia.

Hope it hurt like hell before the two sons of bitches died.

Obviously they were aware of the RN's tradition of rum, sodomy and the lash.

Awwww-I'm sorry-whine oh whine-is your tampon full or your panties twisted?
GFYS-with an untreated telephone pole.

C'mon Northguy-they're Somalies.
If they'd been aware of those traditions-they would've been less "compliant"-and fought harder to get away...

Yo Ho Ho...Ho Shit!

Pirates who tried to hijack a cargo ship off Somalia made the grave mistake of opening fire on two British Royal Navy assault craft packed with commandos, who returned fire and killed two pirates.

Would it be out of the question to call them late pirates?

I've heard the Jimmy Buffet song, "A Pirate Looks at Forty", but it appears these pirates looked at a .44.

Yes I am a pirate
200 years too late.
The cannons don't thunder
There's nothing to plunder
I'm an over 40 victim of fate.
Arriving too late.
Arriving too late.

Yarrr...

I have to root for the Pirates.

Bring back Danny Murtaugh!

Venezuela

Some bluewater sailors keep this country in bad memory. Many attacks on yachts have been registered, especially in the eastern regions. Although mainly poor fishermen are involved. One case became public where members of the Venezuelan Coast Guard tried to raid a German yacht near Isla Tortuga. Officials in Venezuela believe that inland drug dealers are involved in these raids. In the following regions sailors should not anchor, yachts should sail in company and fishermen approaching with their boats should be watched very carefully: Between Isla Margarita und the district of Sucre including Mochima and the islands near Puerto La Cruz, East of the peninsulas Paria and Araya, near the mouth of Amacuro and the river Pedernales, near Boca del Dragon, in the Golfo de Venezuela near the Venezuelan-Columbian border. The region around Isla Los Roques and Isla Los Aves are safe. Ten years ago Venezuela was a pirate free country. Since beginning of the political difficulties the picture has changed. Hopefully it can change to the better just as fast.

Bluebeard should be hung from the yardarm.

They should have just finished them off.

Let us see now. Royal Navy Type 22 frigate: 4.5" automatic deck gun, 8 harpoon anti ship missiles tubes, 2 20mm close support guns, 1 Lynxs attack helicopter/gunship. Plus whatever fun stuff they bring along. Top speed 30+

Pirates: Several AK-47s and a RPG or 2. What in the hell were they thinking.

Ooooooh bootnecks tend to get really pissed off when peeps shoot at them. I wonder how you say "we be fucked" in somali?

For LB--;o)

What is maddening about the entire encounter is that the Brits are somewhat apologetic and defensive in justifying returning fire.

They should have killed the lot of them, or better still as back in the old days, hang them now. Those Somali/Yemeni pirates need to learn that their occupation can be injurious to their health, and that they will eventually and within a finite time, be dispatched if they ever are in the area. It should be declared a "dead zone."

There were pictures of the 'boats' being towed off.

Please don't tell me they weren't destroyed.

He's a widower.

They fought "the law," and the law won.

Reminiscent of an old song.
