100 Million USD worth of crude.

Yeah...I posted one. Apparently we don't have a Navy sufficient enough
to handle the pirates. :)

I agree. Let's quadruple the Navy's annual budget, buy a hundred thousand
inflatables equipped with a 50 cal. machine gun and a radar mast with blue
flashing lights. Enlist and commission an additional couple of hundred
thousand personnel and go into the law enforcement business, world wide,
stationing the new craft in every major port and patrol every nautical mile
of the world's shipping lanes..

At least I know how to do that. Your computer skills are...well, no more
developed than any your other skills, though I do understand you know
how to be bounced down a flight of stairs.

Sounds like a plan. Maybe this is a battle Harry could sign on to.

From what I gather, the tankers only have about a 20 man crew with pop
gun armaments at the best. i would certainly think that there could be
room on one of those tankers for better equipped professionals and a
budget to safeguard a hundred mil. cargo.

If one takes a **** in the harbor ,, you go to jail, your boat gets
reposessed, and

If you hijack an oil tanker, the navy says they don't have enough ships..

Is this country F..ked up or what.
