Looks like a group of about 20 or so Merchant ships came under attack by a bunch of Pirate skiffs. The article says 50 approached the convoy.

Ok me and Xabbarus are building our own North Korean style midget submarine and we are going to go and join the pirates! Who is with us?

I wonder how big the Chinese naval fleet was?

must have been more than 2 or three ships to deal with that number of pirate vessels
