Pirates still exist! Two U.S. warships conducting security patrols exchanged fire with a rebel pirate boat - guess who won! As the Navy attempted to detain the crews, automatic rifles and RPG’s were fired at the sailors. Luckily, the rebels failed to notice huge machine guns pointing out the sides of each warship. Opening full automatic fire, sailors killed one, and wounded 5 while causing the pirate ship to catch fire. The rebel crew and wounded were taken into custody aboard one of the ships. Capt. Jeff Breslau said the suspected pirate vessel was less than 40 feet long and either had two smaller skiffs in tow or was leading them toward shore. Naval ship Cape St. George is 567 feet long, and the Gonzalez is 505 feet long. Both ships are armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles and an arsenal of other weapons. The coast of Somalia is highly dangerous territory for boating, prowled by armed rebel pirates that will take your life, then your watercraft! Somalia’s government fell apart roughly 15 years ago, now being controlled by rebel gangs. The U.N. Security Council recommended all military patrols near Somalia’s coast to actively engage the pirates, noting aid efforts for humanitarian missions. Any ships attempting to pass through the waters have a 75% chance of being intercepted by either pirates or armed robbers.
