You'd guess that if every merchant vessel passing through the danger area had firepower there'd be a lot less piracy going on !!!

Or, as had been said many times before, Q-Ships (a Navy with more than three ships wouldn't go amiss either)

Oh I dunno! You'd need to chuck a mean spear to get through a good euro pallet The blue GKNs are even better, you'd need an armour piercing spear for those

Somali Pirates

I think i would have dropped couple of those pallets ontop of them for good measure especially those blue euro ones or better still a few concrete paving slabs from the bridge wing as they came floating down the side : /
From that height they would Probelly go straight through the bottom or at least give a couple of pirates a good head ache .
