Of the documentaries I've seen about the Somali pirates, it boggles my mind that they don't put armed security onboard those ships. You have these guys coming at them with speed boats, varying assortment of Kalashnikov's, and RPG's, and their fending them off with water hoses, and loud noise makers.
If I had my way, I'd replace those water cannons with a 30 caliber machine gun.
