“At least this time they had a vessel protection detachment on board who were able to repel the attack.”

Who would have thunk it?

    argue not with things that work…

    Oddly enough, when you shoot back at pirates, they tend to go the other direction. Quickly. Who’d'a thunk (aside from anyone with a functioning brain), huh? (Courtesy of Traction Control.)……

    According to the end of the story, Spain just paid out $3.3M to ransom a captured crew.

    Soooo. . . which would YOU rather do? Pay maybe a few $100K in wages (etc) annually to have an armed protective service on your ship, or pay over 3 mil PER SHIP, EACH AND EVERY time it’s captured?

    I know MY choice.
