Might be fun. Had to happen sooner or later. Good hunting.

Yeah, sure. To quote

" If an attempted hijacking does not occur, we will turn the boat
around and cruise by at 4 knots. We will repeat this for up to 8 days
making three passes a day along the entire length of Somalia."

You can do the math, the speed required is about 125 kts, since the
coast is a thousand miles long. At four, you can cover 32 miles of
coast. Of course you pick a different 32miles each trip. I wonder how
long it would take for the entire piracy industry to wise up. Maybe
lease a different ship for each trip.
