why do ships travel so closet to shore

feed the sharks

if there 20 miles offshore free game pirates not going home sink the boats

they forget to say the zumwalt is a failed destroyer and has been cancelled already.

I'll take "things that ne er happened" for 500. Zumwalt has NEVER left the US.

You talk too much

If they permanently get rid of the Pirates they will lose their mission.

Ilhan Omar

Steve irwin????

The watrrs near Somalia were the fishing ground for the people of Somalia. When corporations started monopolizing the fishing, those folks lost their livelihood. This was in a documentary a few years ago. Until those people are offered an alternative and overthrow the warlords, the piracy will continue. That being said, keep defending the ships.

Aircraft carriers never launch or recover aircraft when they are at anchor. They use the speed of the carrier to help with the launches and recovery.

This shows how many cannot overcome the will of God Almighty. The greatest machines and scientific vehicles cannot stop God's wrath. Be careful and don't fool yourselves like the Hebrews who had to face the wrath of God

Why are they not in the Red Sea

DELETE it in the map

Why not put these costs into fixing the social and financial problems of the areas the pirates spring from

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Anyone else notice the Steve Irwin @ 5:41 ? I don't understand why it's present on this video....

So they took the concept for the USS Zumwalt from the Canadian Frigates from the late 1980s that are mostly computers that run everything.

Leave them alone to swim to shore if they can make it without becoming fish food.

Why use non-lethal measures> It only encourages the pirates to attack ! Most pirates don't want to embark on a suicide mission - seems simple enough to me.

If this is an advance military technology, why tell the rest of the world what it is? Chances are, somebody is going to invent a military ship that will overpower its capabilities.

Most of these smaller boats operate from a Mothership. What the Navy needs to do is sink the Mothership

Destroy samolia

These tactics compare to have used beach balls to fight in WW2. What good are they? None!

If pirates succeed in kidnapping the crew ? On a naval warship , the crew isn’t doing their jobs ! And are a bunch of wussy’s that have no business in the Navy !

No. Pirates wouldn't attack a warship

You unintentionally stated the major problem: nonlethal means.

I love USA! The bravest and super strong!

Did they fire the 155mm?

In einer ersten Abwehrmassnahme gilt, dass sich die Schiffe ausserhalb der von Piraten erreichbaren Zonen bewegen, bzw. befahren müssen. Das kann ein Umweg sein, aber dieser Umweg ist in allen Betrachtungen leidlich vertretbar. Als zweite Abwehrmassnahme gilt, die Schiffe müssen selber in der Lage sein sich auch bewaffnet gegen die Piraten wehren zu können. Als dritte Abwehrmassnahme gilt die angreifenden Piraten einfach "eliminieren", dh. "versenken" zu dürfen unter Verwendung entsprechender Waffen. Es gilt, jeder Angriff soll bewaffnet abgewehrt, bzw. unterbunden, verunmöglicht werden. Der Einsatz gröberer Waffen ist zu legitimieren um einen Angriff abzuwehren. Der Angreifer muss mit allen denkbaren Mitteln abgewehrt werden. Wer nicht angreift, hat nichts zu befürchten, wer angreift, soll einfach abgewehrt oder gar vernichtet werden dürfen.

It's a piece of junk.

Commercial ships hired military veterans, and they didn't use non-lethal weapons.

If the rest of the world did'nt illegaly fish out their waters, this might not have happend. What were they suppose to do?

🙏🙏🙏🙏Thanks LORD for supporting U.S. PRAY LORD 🙏 PROVIDE the BEST FOR U.S. against the Evil pirates .. PRAISE THE LORD..GREAT IS THE LORD.💪💪💪💪

Bla bla bla

I would not have taken any prisoners. They would just be fish food.

Another worthless video where nothing happens.

What is this about?? Seems to be about arrogance.

"Pirates".... that's what we call them when we refuse to pay their ports like we pay other countries. They look at themselves as collecting fees due.

If they permanently do away with the pirates, they won't come back.

Ba Boom! Bye-Bye

Maybe the USA wants these pirates so that they can monitor this area.

Unclos? Chna says it is a piece of junk. They rob the Philippines everyday. Any separate law just for thieves?

Cunning tactics… wow do they really believe that?

Wow that's it

Don’t mess with the USA navy!

That's Ilan Omar's people

What were the pirates thinking?

Why won't the U S. patrol the South sea to stop China from bullying and harassing the Philippines Taiwan Japan and the rest of the neighboring countries?

Use hot water jets at very high temperatures.
