The US Navy has just caught some pirates off Somalia. No real debate - I just thought it was interesting...
PS - Why couldn't they just call the ship the Winston Churchill - the 'S' seems a bit superfluous.

Apparently the waters around Somalia are full of pirates. Sadly fewer peg legs and parrots than I'd have expected though.
Pirates arnt what they used to be
Also less Jack Sparrow-esq pirates as I'd have liked.
Yeah... Today's Pirates are far less fun.
The chinese are havingbig problems with Pirates too, mostly from Vietnam.
More often than not they will leave the ship's occupants live but there have been cases where they have murdered everyone onboard.
even a passenger cruise liner was attacked a few months ago- though they managed to repel the attack with a sonic weapon some ships carry nowadays.
Somebody had to ruin the thread
It would be Aladdin too.
We need more Old stlye Pirates. How about a government scheme to encourage them?
Sort of ironic given his name is based on a thief too
