According to this article the Somalians didn't get jack crap last year. Probably due to the patrolling going on, not counting 10 captured and receiving life imprisonment with no parole by the UAE

I'm sure the Maersk Alabama incident had a lot to do with it as well.

But piracy still goes on in the Gulf of Guinea...

Their effective range is pretty short, well within AK-47 range. That .50 cal will reach out a mile
and scare the **** out of folks.

The problem with fighting back with small arms or rockets, is they can
stand off a ways and sink you with theirs a lot easier than you can hit
them in their tiny boats... or run a cable and disable you, then hit you
with the rockets...That is what I heard anyway, as a reason why the
bigger ships just can't fight them off with small arms....

I've heard the same, Scott. I always thought the better plan would be to pick up hired privateers in Int'l waters, who would be equipped with a high speed inflatable and various weaponry- That could easily be dispatched if a small boat was sited and approaching within 3 mi. (give or take)...

Eh, you know what's next.

The retire the contractors in Int'l waters while headed for port.

The .50 cal machine gun can shoot a mile off. Being a machine gun, it can put a lot of rounds on target. Why they don't put one on every ship is beyond me.
