Interesting. Wish there was more detail how they did it. That is a big yacht with high topsides. Even a trained commando, swimming in the water with guns etc. weighing him down is going to take a while to get aboard and would be likely to make some noise while doing it. Pirates must have been drunk. |

Pirates must have been drunk. They can also drop RIBs and outboards, so swimming is hardly likely to be an option. Hang the *******s! Dennis. |

Pirates must have been drunk. Cloud cover and a quiet assault boat............ Naval Special Forces (like our Special Warfare or "SEALs") have specific training for boarding and capturing ships. I had the opportunity to visit the frogman shop at the Naval Base in Toulon in the 80s and was impressed with thier set up and capabilities. |
