When will ANY ship that travels in the hot zone realize they need to be fully armed with shoulder fired rockets, and a few ma dueces? They need to have trained personel to use them also. A small price to pay for the security of your vessel, and passengers/citizens.
As for the pirates; NO mercy.
Back in the old days piracy was punished by death (walk the plank). After a bunch of pirates/ships get blown up, I bet the next bunch will think twice about hijacking another ship.
