Pirates!
What to say, they probably drink
grog, cope with scurvy, rape, pillage, plunder, all while
avoiding the brandings and hangings threatened by the state-sponsored navies.
To avoid writing more, I will now link you to
Piracy at wikipedia.
Piracy In the News
The Somali pirates do a terrible job at piracy, you need submarines to have
a proper modern piracy fleet. Now that there is an international task force
in the region, one needs a very expensive submarine. I suggest a
Typhoon
class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine. $3 million for the Sirius Star with
a chunk lost at sea and $3.2 million for the M/V Faina (Фаїна) loaded with 33 T-72 tanks and
munitions. This incompetence will not allow for proper investment of their loot and lead to
the extinction of their life as pirates in a shootout from their Rolls Royce on some road in
Somalia.
The Beeb has done a rather good job covering the activity in Somalia for their Piracy Hot-Spot.
