Default Pirates Have Tin Ears (or don't bring loudspeakers to a gunfight)

This shouldn't be funny - but it is.
These "security specialists" had to jump overboard to escape pirates
who boarded the ship they were guarding. They didn't have guns,
just the stuff mentioned below.
If you owned the ship, would you ask for your money back?

"The Dorset firm was set up by a former pilot, Nick Davis, and offers
a range of defense measures for merchant shipping ranging from
long-range acoustic devices, designed to emit ear-splitting noise to
thermal imagers and night sun torches. None of those appears to have
deterred the pirates."
