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:

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

"That great big gun? We missed on purpose, you know!"

Good to see you again, Drebbel. Thanks for the link. :sunny:

Nice one Mijneer :salute:

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.

Much thanks

2 are dead
16 where arrested
9 where transferred to the Netherlands and will be on trial for Piracy and attempt to kill a Dutch Marinier

Are you sure ? :DL

Well done!

An anchor is often used for such purposes :hmmm:

:rotfl2:

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

It's a deployable MAD sensor. Hush hush, it's still secret.

I have one, and it tells me that you are indeed MAD! :O:
