As for one guy and a uboat, very unlikely IMHO, you've got to take into account the trim tanks, dive planes, ballast tanks, engine speed, all of this has got to be monitored pretty much all the time, he wouldn't have time to sink any ships or claim any booty....but...say a team of...I dunno...five or six people maybe, minimum...they might be able to pull it off.  |
I have not heard of pirates around the Carribean and have been there without seeing one pirate! Yes there are pirates, but try off the Asian coasts and African coasts. Somalia has a ton of them. Not far from Hong Kong is a number of reports too.
