Way Too Big of A Deal

The press and the governments of the world are making way to big of a deal about piracy.

Already, 33% of the pirate attacks are unsuccessful. They seem easy enough to repel - ships simply need to use a combination of tactics to repel or delay the pirates until the Navy can bring in helicopters. I swear, one bazooka could seriously deter a small ship trying to roll up on a big vessel. You must be able to tell, certainly before they are boarded, that the small ships with bad intent. If you're in dangerous waters, light up the bow with a bazooka or some big ass .50 cal gun. Call for help. If they keep coming and can overwhelm the ship by force, hide out in the ship until the cavalry arrives.

I don't think invading Somalia and looking for pirate lairs is a good use of the US military.
