Partialy. When Somalia collapsed so did their navy.

Pictured: the Somali Navy about the time of the "Black Hawk Down Incident".



Following that their neighbors decided it would be great to go and fish in Somali waters. That's what started the pirates. They were out to stop others from fishing int their waters. They then turned to crime, the danger of being a vigilante I guess.

@TLAM - Can Sea Monkeys be used in place of human crew? I don't know anybody that's crazy enough to try dodging a CIWS.

krashkart I suddenly have a vision of you trying to build a civilization using sea monkeys like Cartman on South Park...
