Pirates

Here's a link to a story regarding a recent pirate attack. Kiddnapping a 1000ft long supertanker with up to 100 million dollars worth of crude oil.


I'm curious to see how many damage one of those rockets would do to a tanker? Aparently Somali pirates usually attack in a few bottles between 6-8 people. If I'm a 500ft long tanker, which SHOULD be supplied by some crew dedication to watch and defense there is no reason I should be afraid of this dinghy.

I honestly think this is near the beginning of more and more pirate attacks. There is little defense out in the open ocean and with more and more fishing vessels getting retired they can be easily bought(or stolen). And it's not like RPG and automatic weapons are hard to find in Africa and SE asia.
