Pirates mistakenly attack French Warship

[Wing_Z]

Reading through all this, one might think the intent is to dump on Lionheart's thread.
It is not.

I think it's too late for that...who would want to go back to working for a living when they can steal with very little consequence?

While you are figuring out a long term solution, short-term you must of course protect the shipping, preferably with sexy hardware (see post 12 above).
But either way, the pirates will die, so you can't help but feel sorry for them....especially the ones who don't even know the difference between a Navy ship and a fat fishing trawler.

Search , I think, 'Planet Money' Podcast for their series on this issue.... It is a business purely business.

There are the money guys, the food suppliers, the stalkers, the takers, and of course the intelligence people. Each get a cut of the take, and if I'm remembering correctly the teenagers who actually take the ships get the smallest percentage.....
