DEE. I believe keelhauling would be appropriate. Stripped naked and drug UNDERNEATH the ship from one side to the other, all of the barnacles would strip the hide right off ya.

 A modern ship is much wider than the old pirate ships. POWDERMAN.  ;) ;)Actually...keelhauling was done from bow to stern ;D  Sometimes the victem survived...usually not.
for sure not on a 800 foot plus ship today....ask me if I care ;D

Hey Tim I just realised I was your next door neighbor on that island for 9 years. You are not exactly the beautiful woman I had hoped to be on an island with. LOL. Of course it was far deserted.  ;D Dale

I think the point was ... "where in Somolia is a person going to EARN an honest living?"

I just hope the pirates stay safe.  Those poor poor men with no opportunities.  I feel so bad for them that they had to steal weapons to survive.   ::)

 Yes; and those ugly capitalist sailors get in the way of their pursuit of a scrap of bread for their children. So what difference does it make that a few "capitalist pig" sailors must die, perhaps a 20 or 30 unemployed Somali pirates can live above a bare subsistance level.
 
   The Somali pirates do all they can I am sure, to avoid hurting any of Allah's own..so where's the harm ?

International maritime law prohibits commercial vessels from being armed.  For what reason, I cannot possibly imagine.  It's the sort of rule that is created by soft-skinned European socialists, who have likely never set foot on anything other than a cruise ship.

As someone has already said; mount a "Ma Deuce" fore, aft, and amidships.  Keep some small arms and a LAW rocket or two in the bridge, and you make piracy a very dangerous profession.

who  is  behind  a law  that  STUPID  ???   your  right  too  i  think  i  heard  that

what  about  fishing  boats?  and  private  boats?

a  man  and his fishing  boat and  crew  were lost  a few  years  ago
he  lived  down  the street  our  kids  rode  the school  bus  together
boat  and  crew  never .. found  no  wreckage ..     no  foul weather
local  gossip  and  news  suspect  pirates
the  kids  are  are  grown  now  but  with out  a father
i don' know  about  the crews  families

BEEN  NICE IF  THOSE  BOYS  DAD HAD A WELL  ARMED  BOAT

KEV. Thanks for answering a question of mine. I'd asked before about the legalities of being armed, but nobody answered.  What a stupid law. POWDERMAN.  ;D ;D

I know oil tankers cannot be armed with the exception of water cannons. On an oil tanker the crew cannot have a lighter or any spark producing device as the oil is releasing natural gas that is being vented out of the ship.
