Just heard something about how 2 US navy ships patrolling off Somalia approached a suspicious ship . it opened fire on them with handheld missile or grenade launchers !
Needless to the say, the US NAVY immediately returned fire and subdued the pirates (killing 1 wounding 5 pirates- i did not hear of US casualties), this same band of pirates may have been responsible for the attack on a passenger cruise ship about 6 months ago.
Aside from my general surpise ,concern ,and interest in the real events and the navy personnel themselves , I read a post here regarding the need for "realistic" missions which for subs in particular can be a bit hard in a general peace time era.
i just thought this might be a good launch point for a DW campaign.
if i had a clue what i was doing - id give it a whack myself.
maybe the pirates have secretly acquired a few Russian Kilos / Akulas thru their Korean liaisons and are trying to sink an entire CVBG with a nuke tipped torp
