The Captain is in a lifeboat surrounded by half a dozen 50 cal.
machine guns.


I just read the lifeboat was out of fuel....
I just read they have enough food for a week.
No way these pirates are going home any time soon.


"Turn over the Captain to us, and we'll let you live. Don't turn him over
to us, and we'll see you all in hell. Sorry, Cap'n."

New rule: From this day forward, any vessel approaching and attempting to
board a US flagged ship without authorization will be met with deadly
force. We will NOT tolerate pirates, and we will NOT take prisoners.


Following several centuries of tradition,
they could carry Marines...


Come to think of it, that's not a bad idea - especially for
US flagged cruse ships.

Think of the stories passengers could tell when they get home!

Bad idea! The Marines have been chased away by the Somalis before!
