A 20 m.m. Vulcan gatlin gun mounted amidships with quad 50's fore and aft would stop all the nonsense. As a former destroyer shipmate, I assure you the firepower in the aforementioned is sufficient to strike terror in the hearts of any so called Pirates."Eisboch" wrote in message news:Cb6dnZsqAv2bQEHUnZ2dnUVZ_rSdnZ2d@giganews. com... Betcha there are a few in Wash DC breathing a sigh of relief. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/piracy-Hidequoted text - - Show quoted text - Agreed. At least a couple Ma-deuces, and even mini-guns would help Arm that 13 man crew. The ones who have a half mile of railings to watch for ladders and grappling irons.[Emma Maersk] It is true that there are many smaller ships, with bigger crews. It cost about 2 to 3 million bucks for a stabilized 20mm mount. That leaves spray and pray, and the Gatling doesn't need to be bigger than 5,56mm. No armor on those outboard motors.
