[@evejunkie1942]

They only operate in national waters for the most part. Being armed in international waters without being recognized as a member of a national military or police force (or paramilitary or what-have-you) is an act of piracy. I used to work in admin when I was a student for a PMC that specialized in hostage return after ransoms were paid. It was a weird job, but I learnt some cool things. There are huge grey areas, but if you are caught armed in international waters by most navies they will detain you.

[@nightwraith1986]

@@snow49032 Wrong im afraid snow. Merchants ships are allowed to carry armed guards and small arms in International waters, and territorial waters that allow it.

Shit, I'd do it for a bed and two sandwiches a day.

[@evejunkie1942]

Being armed in international waters when not a member of a recognized national military is an act of piracy. SO your answer to the piracy problem is to... make more pirates?

@thematic Right either you're really thick or very misunderstood. What are you trying to say? Spit it out lad. Do you think PMC's are part of a nations military, yes or no? They're called PRIVATE military contractors and you can get all of their company info online, all the upper management and their details, how long they've been a company, where the address the company is registered at. So, what don't you understand?

[@StepByStepStudio]

@thematic That's answered my question. YOU don't get it you thick fuck. I really try with know-it-all's like yourself but you'll never learn. So, I never said they don't have permission, but this is only in territorial waters (not sure where you got the term 'host nation', and this territorial water that nations own only stretches for a measly 12 nautical miles. After that (So 99% of a ships journey) is in whats called International Waters, where what's known as Maritime Law is in place. NO ONE owns this water. They have their own set of rules and laws. Why do you think L.Ron Hubbard set sail to sea when the IRS was hunting him down for tax evasion? Because his country couldn't do shit, because he wasn't in their waters, meaning he didn't have to abide by their laws. Sunk in yet?

Funny? I highly doubt a single one of their bullets would have missed a 50,000 tonne battleship let alone a bloody boat no better than a dingy, cop on. It's not exactly a combat situation that requires you to kill the enemy before he kills you, is it? If there were pirates firing back I guarantee you shots on target would be far more precise

[@joecon0112]

The pirates had hostages and if they shot they would shoot the people

[@Alucard-gt1zf]

J empty ships and boats are used for target practice. You’ll find that the gunners here are actually recruits or just people not specialists in this gun

[@andrewlancefield3730]

Not in 1940 now, time to wake up

[@statiq1941]

If you had the chance to unload on a little wooden boat with an expensive fun gun that you definitely don't get to shoot enough.. You'd miss a few shots too, just to prolong the fun.

3:00 Legolas what else do your elf eyes see?

[@Caspercat1914]

[@Texm-bw4xi]

Has clearly never fired a gun in his life let alone ship mounted

[@paddystrongjaw9995]

Yeah bro why don’t the trained and well experienced military crew just aim down the iron-sights like in CoD man

[@roseboardstreaming7599]

Ooo baby a triple

[@shaneweightman]

No point in warship being at sea if it can’t do anything ,

[@hmrdev-billnye8166]

Unless you are a naval captain, in the military, specialise in anti piracy or hostage rescue and you’re typing this from the comfort of your home with your standard civilian job, you have absolutely no right right to say that they are doing the wrong thing and what they could be doing differently. If you want to, join the Navy, join the special forces, and say it to their face. I’d like to see you do better before you somehow criticise thinking somehow you know better. (not my comment)

[@RoroBar-k8e]

Oulalala... an abandonned skiff..... oulllalala... what a risk.

[@MASTERJJ1995]

My question if the ship is too dangerous to board with hostage, then why not track the ship with UAV to it's destination and have a strike team to rescue to hostages. And they will have the drop. Better yet foolow the group to find the source. AC-130. Done.

[@Gandalf606]

The briefing officer at the beginning was from the British Armed Forces. He was a Royal Naval Sub Lieutenant. He was not an American. He was not a 'Loo'-tenant. We pronounce the rank as 'Lef' tenant or 'L'tennant.

Ross: As you can see, we're currently using a VPN to direct our traffic towards another country while we penetrate the soft underbelly of the Pirate Bay. This torrent, currently has 100 leechers but more terrifying is the fact that there are approximately 700 seeders for the Hollywood movie, the Joker. We know that Pirates like to shadow vulnerable Hollywood movies, but we had no idea how deep these events go. Early the next morning, we looked at our Australian internet speed at noticed that we're at 4% and headed for completion in approximately 47 days.

[@cowboyanimal6700]

edit: no disrespect to those poor bastards on the MV Saldanha. If only the shipping world had less human rights and crew were able to defend themselves by killing more of these fuckers at sea.
