#1 Use some of that Air Force to provide regular and thorough air patrols over the shipping lanes. Give all ships instructions to come up on Guard when in trouble. Then use those air assets to ace the bandits. Make yourselves a rep for action. Don't let the Indos and Malays play their impotent airspace sovereignty games - they're not doing the job that needs doing.

#5 Q-boats might deter the rob-and-run, but not the hard-core pirates.
