France 1 - Pirates 0
Maybe the Somali pirates should invest in a current copy of Jane's Fighting Ships.
This morning pirates fired on a French Navy vessel in international waters off the coast of Somalia. The French refueling ship La Somme gave chase and captured five suspected pirates.
Speculation is the pirates thought the French vessel was a commercial tanker.
Another example of why books are important.
And another example of why piracy on any scale is - or should be - a concern to be dealt with by the international community.

A pirate is a pirate is a pirate. Let's not let them win on any front.

I'm with you. Let's stop all pirates. It's time to bring out the big guns.

However, if they looked like Johnny Depp, I might change my mind...; )

Alas, he's Hollywood.
I've always been somewhat enamored of all those old pirates, Jean Lafitte, and the rest. But seeing these bad 21st Century boys in action . . . not so much.
