Pirates ATTACK The WRONG US Navy Ship and Then THIS HAPPENED...

Somali Pirates vs. US Navy. Have you ever heard of the pirates of Somalia? Somali Pirates vs. US Navy. The group of people who wield not just cutlasses and pistols, but power and chaos in equal measure. But imagine a scenario where these pirates try to attack the mighty ships of the US Navy - those that are armed to the teeth and equipped with state-of-the-art technology; often exceeding 300 meters in length with the capability of displacing 100,000 tons!
What would happen when these modern pirates try to mess with the deadlist ships of the US Navy fleet? Don’t underestimate the pirates though, they’ve long evolved from what’s depicted in the tales of infamous Caribbean pirates and the legendary feats of figures like Blackbeard and Captain Kidd. Today’s pirates are the real deal - and if you think they don’t pack a punch, you might be wrong!
Join us as we delve into the gripping account of how a notorious band of Somali pirates set their sights on the MV Faina, a ship transporting a large cargo of weapons, including tanks, ammunition, and other military equipment. We’ll soon discuss what happened when the US Navy deployed the USS Howard destroyer, and how it took the United States and several other nations to negotiate with the Somali pirates for the release of the ship - leaving us to wonder yet again, do pirates actually stand a chance? #usnavy #pirates #aircraftcarrier

Non lethal weapons rarely work. My Dad was a Chief engineer and the pirates would target the Captains and Chief engineers for ransom ( the rest of the crew were usually from poorer 3rd world countries). It was extremely dangerous and they were not allowed to carry any weapons to protect the boat or themselves. He ended up leaving and working on a heavily protected oil platform instead.

@cliff4482 8 ай бұрын

The fact that the pirates know that we're not starting with lethal force/weapons is what emboldens them to try anything in the first place. If they knew that even encroaching our space would result in immediate casualty, it would most likely deter them from thinking about anything at all, since the outcome would be pre-determined.

Reflect on yourself, ask yourself why these desperate starving people turned to piracy in the first place, then question why your first option is killing them. Then you'll have your answer.

I served aboard a US Navy Frigate and when we were in the Tonkin Gulf in 1967 we spotted a PT boat as it barely appeared on the horizon. It failed to respond to a message so we put a 5 inch round across her bow to get her attention. She responded then and identified herself as one of ours. The point is that if a small gun boat is allowed to get close enough to threaten a US Navy ship someone is asleep at the switch. With modern weaponry it's just practice.

As a Vietnam era veteran and civilian sailor, it is obvious piracy on the seas cannot be tolerated anywhere in the world. Most of us have some degree of sympathy for those desperate people who must resort to lawlessness to survive. However, the virtually universal principle of "fire when fired upon" appropriately applies in most instances of piracy. In cases where non-lethal force is used as an initial deterrent, the pirates can consider themselves quite fortunate. However, this less threatening approach, if it becomes standard US policy in confronting piracy, will indeed act as an invitation. It is a long-established sociological fact that the most effective crime deterrents are increasing the probability of being caught and the severity of the consequences. Dr. A

Close defense of a ship is an interesting puzzle. Getting the proper angle for applying deadly force on a boarding party crawling up the hull would be challenging without harming the ship. Swamping the small boats is a practical approach. Once the boarders are in contact the problem is much more dire. I suppose armed drones could be a way to repel boarders while reducing risk to your own crew. Ultimately the safety of the defending crew must be the primary concern. If this means lethal force then so be it. My father was a career merchant marine so I am a little biased in favor of the defending crews.

I think the problem emanates from the abuses of foreign nations that have gone to the shores of Somalia and commenced to overfish and dump trash and toxic materials into the waters off the horn of Africa. As is with often the case, rich nations go to what may be considered to be poor nations and become environmental terrorist creating animus and hostile depositions with the people of those nations. Much of this is a response (though to some extent the targeting is misplaced) to those thoughtless actions that affect the livelihood and well-being of the people of that nation. Using lethal force on a regular basis will likely increase the likelihood of the willingness of some of those pirates to then raise the stakes by responding with lethal force much more frequently. The US, nor are other nations interested in putting their warships at risk by amping up these skirmishes into a worse situation than already exists.

Are Somalian Pirates still a thing? Any ship should have the right to protect its sovereignty by any means, in international waters! If attacked, the crew should have no obligation to rescue surviving pirates, nor should they even obligated to report the encounter. Once a pirate boards a ship, the pirate shouldn't have any humanitarian rights whatsoever. The crew should be free to do what they want with the pirate, and should set an example for other pirates as to the consequences of boarding a ship without authorization. The only way to stop piracy is to make it too risky to be worth trying.

As a former petty officer in the US Navy, I can assure you that it would be impossible for somoli pirates to take over a US warship. The only reason they would have to board a US warship would be to try and obtain loose weapontry that may include side arms like the M1911 or M1911A. US warships also carry other weapons like shotguns, M14s, grenade launchers, and various other hand-held weapons. Somali pirates would not, nor could not, take over a US warship. They simply do not have the training or the firepower. Their only hope is to try and board the ship in the attempt to find something of value. They will most definitely fail and die in the attempt. GOD BLESS THE US NAVY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

It’s extremely disappointing that the U.S. Navy is obviously being PREVENTED from doing the job they’re trained to do. I would be very curious to learn who is tying their hands, so to speak? 1 or 2 well placed rounds not intended to shoot or kill anyone, but intended to sink a boat, sends an immediate signal to other pirates that drowning is not worth their efforts.

Full force is the only way to get the message across. The invading boats should be sunk with the occupants. A step further, submarines should be used in addition. Make them fear the water around these ships, then they will stick to the intended purpose of the boats; make a living fishing, transport, hauling.

The trouble with the use of non lethal weapons is that they pull away from the warship and then attack the next merchant ship they can and so they lose nothing and all it does is give them more control of the oceans but like the pirates of old when the consequences of their actions are not worth the risk they change their professions

I have read a great number of books thank you, so yes, I know, violence has repeatedly failed at deterring piracy for millennium. If anything it only ever made the pirates more violent. I have no clue why I should have to answer the question of what the ships should do when it gets shot at by pirates, because there is a whole list of things that they do currently that work as well as anything else. If you feel the need to know what they do aside from those demonstrated in the video you clearly did not watch, feel free to demonstrate your own reading skills and read a book on the subject yourself, instead of hurling unneeded insults at people you clearly have knowledge about.

It has been known to happen. Most pirates conduct their raids at dusk or pre-dawn, when darkness can conceal them, but that can be a double-edged sword, in darkness all the pirates see is the ships running lights, in the dark a destroyer looks the same as a small freighter until you're right on top of it. Now the thumbnail of this video is cute, no amount of darkness will hide an aircraft carrier.

I believe that a more robust approach should be taken when dealing with pirates. Instead of relying solely on non-lethal force, it may be more effective to employ lethal force as a deterrent. This could potentially result in a significant reduction in pirate activity. Additionally, in cases where the government in their country has collapsed, it would be prudent to work towards establishing a stable and functional government, with the ultimate objective of eradicating piracy from the shores. Such an approach not only addresses the immediate threat but also aims to eliminate the root causes of piracy, ensuring long-term stability in the region.

It's rather intriguing how you hold such a perspective without understanding the economic dynamics that led individuals towards piracy in the first place. Ever wondered why piracy isn't prevalent in the USA? The dire circumstances that drive people to resort to piracy simply do not exist to the same extent here. When you're teetering on the brink of starvation, the perceived risks of piracy become secondary to the desperation for survival. If you think that the threat of death can deter these individuals, then the point is already sailing far over your head.
