Chinese ship uses molotov cocktails to fight off Somali pirates

I would have to see a cost benefit analysis. How much would a convoy, Q ship or whatever cost. More than likely paying the ransom on the rare occasion your ships get jacked is probably cheaper.

There are many US forces posted not far from Somalia, August's theory is sound. It doesn't even have to be US troops , India isn't very far, Maybe ships could pull a stopover at secure port full of soldiers..

A convoy wouldn't really cost THAT much, its just a delay that the companies will hate.
