These hineyorifices actually tried to ambush the smallcraft, fired upon the main vessel and tried to get help from another pirate vessel. The other pirate vessel was scared off after a few shots across the bow.

This is new footage from the Hr.Ms. Tromp that was released after her arrival back home earlier today.

Please also note last years impressive movie from the Dutch Navy:

Very cool, that's the way to handle these pirates. :up:

[AVGWarhawk]

Fantastic! Those on deck scurried away like rats when the shots rang out! This is the way to handle the pirates.

At the very start of this video, while the "credits" were running, what is that contraption attached to the bow of the ship?

I have not seen that before.

Helps keep the bow of the boat steady in adverse sea conditions.

To be honest when I went back and looked my first thought was "Dive planes? But..." :dead:

I have not seen that before.It's a deployable MAD sensor. Hush hush, it's still secret.
