sink a few of these boats and leave the survivors for the hammerhead

has anyone ever been involved in anything closely resembling piracy in
or near U.S. waters? I have heard stories, altho unconfirmed of problems
in the area between the Bahamas and Cuba, territorial disputes, rogue
miltary actions, etc. but i have never really witnessed anything like this.

i've met a few charter captains(primary extended dive and or fish
charters in SW Florida or Bahamas) who said they 'have something'
aboard, and they have also indicated many others do as well, but it is
not something they really advertise.
