OK so I accidentally filled the water cannons with napalm. My bad, flush the system and head to port.
I would prefer to employ a Carl Gustav recoilless rifle with the preset fuses set to airburst about 10 meters in front of them.
Hyperbole and facetious, not meant to be taken seriously. Dumb is the rules of engagement concerning the pirates.
I still think the Navy should shadow some of these ships in subs. You know, as live fire training exercises.
Better yet, bring the sub up underneath them, and have a Seal Team walk over and ask them to Disarm, or Die....
