German Navy Intercepts Somali Pirates
2011-10-05
It's number thirteen in his Pirates series by Rantburg's own Chuck Simmins.
The skiff, whaler and their engines were destroyed to prevent any potential future use for piracy and the men released close to the shore.

#8  Und wenn du auch gehst bis ans bis ende der Welt
wird dir von uns dein Weg verstellt.
Die Menschheit betrügt damit ist es vorbei,
wir brechen dem Löwen die Kiele entzwei
Nun hört in den weiten der Ruf ist so groß
wenn der Ruf erschallt TorpedoLos!

Isn't the Internet cool sometimes?

#7  I hope that whatever we're doing I don't find out about it because if I do, lawyers will also and that will be the end.

#6  This is the latest tactic by the other nations fighting piracy. The Russians apparently do it one batter. They release the pirates and leave them a "gift" with a short fuse.

Not sure we're doing much of this. OTOH, we are doing drone attacks and helo raids.

100 yards or 100 miles?


It doesn't matter provided you have thrown enough blood and meat to attract every shark in thirty miles.

#1  Ah, the old discredited "catch and release" policy.
