    Default yarr i be a pirate etc and stuff..

    just got the new warships IFR mag..and its been discussing piracy around africa the last few issues, and i open up the front page and there it is " 'Pirates' attack US Navy ships"

    A US navy warship was hit by gunfire when she engaged suspected pirates 25 miles off the coast of Somalia.
    The AEGIS-equipped Ticonderoga Class cruiser USS Cape St. George, which sustained at least one bullet hit, was forced to use small arms fire in reply to an attack by men in a skiff, as was the Arleigh Burke Class destroyer USS Gonzalez.
    The skiff burst into flames, with one of its occupants killed and five others wounded.
    The incident happened just as the Gonzalez was about to send across a boarding team to the boat.
    As the warships got close a range of small arms, including rocket-propelled grenade launchers (RPGs) and AK47s, was spotted in the hands of its occupants. The two American warships were conducting maritime security patrols last month (March) in the Indian Ocean as part of the multi-national Task Force 150

    .............................
    Piracy has been on the rise in the seas around Africa, many nations have sent ships on patrols there, if you could see the pictures i see you'd be like 'w t f'

    The skiff, fyi, is a tiny little boat that can carry a very very small amount of people, and they shot at a cruiser and destroyer, with ak's and rpgs..

    even more humilating for the pirates is that only one bullet hole has been found on the cruiser LOL

    dear oh dear, piracy isnt like it was..

    I think this has already been mentioned here.

    And both had imaginative titles!
