  • a nice 50 cal sniper rifle would've done the trick here

  • @paul000108 fuck off to call of duty.

  • @wagsta1 i meant for the pirates dumb ass not the ship

  • @paul000108 I know , fuck off to call of duty...

  • Kill these motherfuckers. Send em straight down to his place

  • Why are we not putting large guns with trained people on these ships? One or two good marines could take care of those Somalia idiots!

  • @1tech702 insurance companies, that's why. They seem to think it's cheaper to pay a ransom rather than sinking these pirate clowns. If the policy on handling these encounters was to sink them on site and leave them for dead the pirate problem would start to ease up pretty fast once word got out to the bad guys the shipping industry is playing for keeps.

  • LIGHT THE MOTHERFUCKERS UP!!!!!!!!!

  • Why dont the just shoot the outboard? That would leave them high and dry in the middle of the ocean.

  • @lucky88slot doesnt make a difference to be honest, and its a hard shot, also these yanks didnt have a SST on board , the Pirates always go for the bridge first , because they know thats were the ship is controlled from, so it is important that the ships Master keeps it moveing. The Pirates dont want the ship tey want the westerners on board!

  • Maybe try blasting the fuckers apart?

  • Anyone else thinks this guy is the sound for battleship?

  • Arm the ships DUH

  • @california342 When do we start.......????

  • Seems like a local/Interpol problem to me. Why is it the US "welfare on boats" cartel on this obviously corporate security detail? Oh, right: US military industrial congressional complex collusion and revalidation.

  • Russian Navy cuffs them to the ship and blows up the ship, while Americans invite them on board, surrender, and fix them a nice big dinner !!! A nation of pusses !!!

  • @retiredat532002 This wasn't a navy ship thought....

  • @SChoolsFaOl

    The U.S. Navy did absolutely nothing while 4 Americans were slaughtered right in front of them. They "shadowed" the boat with a destroyer and let them take the Quest hostages into port and slaughter them.

  • @retiredat532002 and? What does that have to do with your idiotic comment comparing a U.S commercialism vessel to the Russian navy?

  • @SChoolsFaOl

    Do YouTube search on "Navy Blasts Pirate Ship" !

  • @SChoolsFaOl

    Search: "Pirates Attack U.S. Chopper" 

  • Somali pirates are robbin hoods they protect their seas from invaders who steal our resources and dump waste, remember now Somalis are not like the other Africans we are born fighters we aint scared the white men we will kill dem

  • @somalisoulja1 Shut the fuck up nigger, everyone knows they don't got internet out there in Somalia, so you just bein' a fake.

  • Americans call them: Somalian Pirates

    Russians call them: Target Practice

  • @xWiiPz Thankfully Somalian's can't shoot worth a shit

  • @xWiiPz lol... so true.

  • @Thelboy360 international law means NOTHING when you're defending yourself on the open sea. Who's going to really persecute you? What law man is stupid enough to go after a common man who defended his ship FROM PIRATES? Let alone any other military violations by any other country in international waters. You can take a political sci class, and everyone will tell you international law is a lie. NGO law, like NATO law or IMF law is hugly a differnt thing though.

  • US Navy is afraid of "upsetting" Saudis and others

    Arabs for shooting Muslim pirates? WTF? Well it could be.

  • Its a merchant Marine Boat on route to Kenya to bring Humanitarian supplies. so can you see they are scum bags and should b killed i am aplying to go hunt them down

  • well than its time to show these asshole if they try it they will b killed put 3 4 sniper on boat with 2 50 cal it over and kill them every time this way they know if they try they will b killed .. y do we resept these guy that hold use up for millions .. its time if i go take a bank they can kill me so y do we not shoot back come on wake up

  • @DaMaxxy Ya ok buddy,....you have no clue.

  • HARD STARBOARD AND RUN THOSE FUCKERS OVER!

  • The Navy are a bunch of pussy's !

  • If they were firing on the Russians they would have sunk it along time ago.

  • @zgomer1 yes but that was not a war ship

  • Why did Senator Lautenberg use Michael J. Fox as his camera man?

    Two words .... Image Stabailization!

  • Thats my uncle taking the video/ talking lol

  • BREAKING NEWS: u.s navy ship runs from somali pirates!

    Somali pirates: 1

    U.S navy ship: 0

  • @GuulChannel this isnt a US navy ship you idiots... ALL us navy ships are armed..

  • Ramming speed!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Hirdayesh5987 Racist cunt, comments like that will put you in a body bag...

  • These pirates are always smiling

  • Guns won't do a merchant ship any good, but why not a save zone? Make the bridge and kitchen a vault; if pirates board just get in the vault and drive the pirates to the authorities.

  • @Error081688 You could lock yourselves in the bridge, but what do you do when they punch a hole in the hull, get back on their boats, and leave you to die?

  • fuckin skinnies hate those niggers glad i killed as many as i did in somalia in 93

  • @11xForces You are so deluded it's actually funny, the only time you'd ever leave your white power KKK trailer park would be to attend court for hate crimes or domestic violence. Stop this Special Forces Rambo fantasy nonsense, you're more Timothy McVeigh.

  • @11xForces Hah,I doubt you were actually there.

  • the blew up my room part is fack its just a bag

  • how hard is to get a dozen of people with guns on theese ships and everyone will be happy,

  • You got a bigger boat, run em over

  • If they had M14s they could shoot the bastards

  • Comment removed

  • For god sake its A USS DESTROYER. Do what its built FOR! DESTROY THAT SHIP. Problem solved

  • @TylerTheStyler It's not a destroyer.

  • @TylerTheStyler its a cargo ship, not a naval vessel

  • @dcFaddy oh shit, why did i write that lol. god damnit

  • @TylerTheStyler It's not a destroyer. The framework is different and it's painted in civilian colors.

  • @Chickenflossiphy

    Its a merchant Marine Boat on route to Kenya to bring Humanitarian supplies

  • Every Cargo Ship should have Private military contractors aboard... In the long run it would cost less money and prevent this sorta shit from happening.

  • lol monkeys

  • Comapnies al already working with private security companies to help them, so when this fuckers will approach a ship they may get some 5-6 havely armed men with automatic snipers and assault rifles. And this guys are not like the navy thei kill on site see Blackwater operations in iraq, mean soon of a bitches. But i think this is the way against this pirates, after u kill enough they will learn not to fuck with ships anymore.

  • @optmius99

    Killing 'em will be only a temporary solution, at best.

    THe situation in Somalia gotta be resolved if we want to resolved the problem of piracy.

  • @Briselance what situation? nobody cared about the somali citizen when they were under brutal dictatorship and now that things are geting better for the somali and are finally free, they are the problem?

  • @unclesamfatg

    "now that things are geting better for the somali"

    Well, if this statement is true, it doesn't seem to be getting better very fast, to say the least.

  • @Briselance I have a link for you about the somalian economy

    w w w. peterleeson. com /Better_Off_Stateless.pdf

  • @unclesamfatg Better for the somali? Is that a joke? I would hate to see when it was worse for those skinny cockroaches

  • I remember hearing about how crewmen of shipping vessels able to carry fire arms BUT they have to be put on the insurance paperwork, Another reason why many commercial vessels don't have firearms on board. BUT they do have other ways of dealing with pirates and if it comes down to it, it's kill or be killed in many of these situations, so you gotta do what you gotta do.

  • i would have simple cut rudder hard to port side and ran those bastards over they are in a little 200 lbs boat and im in a 100 ton steel vessel hahahaha I WIN THAT GAME OF CHICKEN

  • dont fuck with americans we like to watch people die

  • @xraidedlok Yeah so we noticed, and your proud of it .. unbelieveble. But i do agree they must be dealt with so i go for the armed marines onboard every cargoship.

  • Put a couple Marines on each boat with shoulder launched Javelin missiles, that should do the trick!

  • @jjs4you2

    Do you have any idea 'bout how expensive is a Javelin missile ?

    A simple RPG-7 would be good enough, wouldn't it ?

  • @jjs4you2

    You play to many games ;)

  • @gummel82 lol new term

  • @gummel82 Hey! I've got a question, you racist KKK retard. Is 82 your IQ? Or the number of people who could potentially be your dad?

  • @deephousecompany are you a nigger? haha that sucks. Do the world a favor and kill yourself and your whole family

  • Sparate alle scimmie 308 Winchester.

  • Waste those skinnys

  • They're like fucking gnats, or ticks. 

  • Except there are internation laws about the transport of weapons. So if you have your trusty rifle with you when you get a courtesy boarding by some other gun-grabbing nation you're sailing by, it earns you prison time in a 3rd-world stinkhole prison. AND you lose your rifle. I like the idea, "shoot 'em all", but unfortunately there are other considerations with serious consequences.

  • @TheIboy360 That's not true at all. Ships are allowed to carry weapons, most every ship has a store of small arms. The problem is that there are not extra crewmen on the ships. It is not uncommon for a thousand foot tanker to have a crew or 30 people. Small arms are not going to be much worth against RPG attacks.

  • @TheIboy360 fuck your considerations

  • @TheIboy360 Not true, I am a sailor and I have sailed most oceans of the world (with the exception of indian, although I assume it is the same). In international waters you can carry firearms (and I have done) as long as you declare over the VHF what you are carrying as you enter a nations waters... If you dock in most countries then your weapons are taken into customs until you leave.

  • @danthenorth sooo you're a sailor and you have an account on youtube? thats weird lol

  • @wizardsorcerer101 haha why is that wierd? I work on gaffs as race crew... I work hard during regatta season and get paid enough so I can take alot of time off... since my job involves alot of travelling I tend to spend the time I get off at home in palma... and i go on the interennt and look at youtube lol... why the hell would i make up what i do for a job? to impress a load of people i'll never meet? nd why is it wierd to have and account on youtube if your a sailor?? bizzare comment mate....

  • Comment removed

  • @wizardsorcerer101 haha 'wizardsorcerer' perhaps you should stick to world of warcraft and leave talkin about the real world for people who live in it... i only saw your original stupid comment yesterday...

  • @danthenorth i made this account when i was nine or ten. don't blame me, i was a wizard101 fan back then, but now the game sucks. i'm thinking of making a new account with my xbox live gamertag, but i really don't care what people say about my account name right now. also, when you said you saw my comment yesterday, i MEANT, i made the comment 6 months ago, so i dont care what it says when people reply. so whine all you want, i dont give a crap about you.

  • Shoot that monkey

  • Comment removed

  • A bit of clarity here. There is no legal reason that the ships cannot arm on the open sea. they are entitled to defend themselves under the terms of many treaties. The problem is the ports of call. there is no "weapon check boat" that can sit off of the territorial waters of each nation and hold your guns for you while you make port. Many of the nations these ships call at have no private gun ownership of any kind allowed. This is the dilemma.

  • All you need is a RPG on board the cargo ship to prevent piracy!

  • Time to arm these merchant vessels, and blow those pirates out ot the water or try to scare them off.

  • I don't get this! how are pirates able to kidnap ships when the people on ships have higher grounds. I mean all you need is a rpg for each crew member and take those mtfkrs out.

  • what a nightmare ... 

  • Can't we just take an RPG anyday and blow those pirates to Davy Jone's locker? Jesus!

  • Make the pirates walk the plank.

  • they need to armor sensitve spots on the boat, hire snipers, use longrange dissorientation weapons, and remember they'll kill you if you don't kill them. International waters means anything goes. Pirates heads are easily exploded with a .50 cal

  • @TroutFink call of duty much?

  • @Anderson0457 Troll Much?

    Look at what most ships are starting to do on the open waters near Africa: Reinforcing areas prone to attack, using LRAD, and they're starting to hire mercs for their protection (snipers)....What do you not get troll?

  • @TroutFink umad?

  • @Anderson0457 QUIT YOUR FUCKIN CALL OF DUTY xD

  • @gerry7man555 ...what?

  • @TroutFink International waters means you obide by the Geneva Convention, not "anything goes" lol!

  • @SexSteakSoda Tell that to the Somalis holding the RPG's and firing into your ship....lol!

    "Excuse me sir can you abide by the Geneva Convention while you hijack our ship"....you're dumb. LOL!

  • @TroutFink You assume too much out of a single sentence my friend. I was simply correcting your statement that "ANYTHING goes" out in international waters, when in fact there are international rules. You are allowed to defend yourself and return fire under the Geneva Convention. Obviously you know nothing about International Law or conflict, yet you call me dumb? Fuck kid, go back to playing video games and shut the fuck up. Little bitch.

  • @SexSteakSoda Assume this: Lick me where I shit ya cunt.

  • @TroutFink You shit out of your vagina?

  • @SexSteakSoda thanx i spilled my coffee reading this:)

  • most people dont realize that merchant marines are at sea for months at a time living with the same group of people. allowing seaman to carry guns would not be as beneficial as the typical person would think. i think they bring far more problems then they would do good. and what company is this ship operating under to where u can man the helm and also be outside filming pirates that are shooting at u.

  • "They are firing at us..." Next I should hear is: "Man, I brought my sniper rifle. Give me a chance to get one, then you can blow their boat out of water"

  • Russians could help those cargoships and sell cheaply for every of them at least one or two old "sergei" 2x23 mm guns. If you don't hit with it,no worries,the scare factor would enormous,even to those stupid somalipirates !!!

    And if you hit,no worries either :)!

  • Why not just put a mounted 50 cal on the side of the ships?

  • How they get on board? Why not get a small protective boat?

  • They should just ram those damn pirates if they get to close.

  • @CALanceGokongwei pretty hard to ram a tiny skiff with an outboard that car turn on a dime when youre in a 900'+ cargo ship.

  • @ARLO999 its true that the crews should be armed. you dont send out sheep into a lions den.

  • @gamesbok

    Lol

  • well done lads.. you kept calm and were vey profesional.... thumbs up too you both.

  • dirty somalians blow them up

  • @88pastie ,Yeah Arm those ships with 30mm cannons like in the A-10 gun ,or even an old sagat missle will do, They should learn to respect other seafarers ,

  • some M16's and plenty of ammo will even the odds :D

  • @wnxsystem Fuck that, this is naval warfare, put some 50 calibers up there.

  • @Polybun ,Thats Good man , but a 40mm mk-19 would do the job too ,

  • They should be arm. to protect them self and they have advantage shooting em.

  • If the bastards can't even be bothered to call at the Theratrical Costumiers, and get the necessary parrots, wooden legs, tricornered hats then they desirve everything that's coming to them. They didn't even say 'Arrrrr'.

  • i use to know some one who worked on a cargo ship there captin all ways had some sort of guns on bord i think there just hunting guns but there was a deer hunting gun with a scope that some other gie always he brought with him on bord when he worked on anny cargo ship just in case of shit like that anny thing is better then not having nothing to fight back with i don't work on ships or have a gun i have no clue ware he is now

  • Just shoot their asses back... Hell turn and run them the fuck over...lol

  • Open up on em! Carry firearms and fight the fuck back.

  • I say we nuke em....

  • Take a MG3 or a nice old M60 and light them up! 

  • heavy weapons to all civil ships. they have the right to defense theirselves .. !!!!

    

  • @airconnector Dangerous if u got a crazy capt. on board...watch out

  • @aquaunni well... is true my friend, but is highy unfair the current situation to sailors and fishermen ......

  • i never get it just floor it and go inside lets see what the dingy will do to stop a giant ship

  • ARM YOURSELF NEXT TIME!

  • fuck em i would just shoot the fuck out the pirates

  • wallahi gimmie your boat

  • Thumbs up if cargo ships need atleast 20 Machineguns mounted at every sensitive spot .

  • @Iwillgetyou2 Browning Automatic Rifles can do the trick...I'm sure the us got them stocked in some barracks somewhere...

  • @skynsidhawaii DATS RACISTS YU KNO !!! No joke , I would feel no mercy with those thugs been shot

  • @Iwillgetyou2 yeah they should put phalanx gun!

  • @Iwillgetyou2 exactly mabye not that much but put a few marines there you know or just aviod those water

  • @rider4343 I look at it this way, they did not sign up for being shot at, and they may "freeze" when the moment comes to shoot back at them, besides, if being shot at while on ship is what they wanted, they could have signed up for the navy!

  • Dont you know you are suposed to respect all niggers like the Americans do .... Dont hate lol

  • @stalag58 from your statement, you sound like you are inferring you dont respect any black people, from my experience, they deserve more respect than most caucasians!

  • @cajohnson1234 I will remember that the next time one breaks into my car lol

  • @stalag58 I have seen just as many caucasians steal cars as black people.

  • They need to sail some decoy ships out there to blow the scum from the earth. Have a scum clensing out on the open ocean. The sharks will thanks us all.

  • @lewandlo

    I endorse EVERY word !!! I would volunteer on such a mission for free food and ammo :)

  • Just a one mashinegun at every ship and there will not be kidnaped ships any more.

  • #WTF

  • Sons of bitches I'm glad the Russians blew up Somali pirate ships along with its crew - they get treated like terrorists for acting like terrorists.

  • bomb the bastards

  • Lock n load. Bang! Shot me a pirate. You do not allow a tiny little boat to fire or even threaten a multi million dollar warship. just shoot em.

  • crazy

  • idiots shoot back blow them away

  • How did it end?

    Defending from pirates in the high seas is difficult. It should be easier to find their land bases.

  • all you is need a 50 cal to shoot a hole in there boat then there fucked i bet if i was working on a cargo ship i bring my 30 30 with a scope on it and pick some of them off you might be better to have guns on there the fight back then just be a sucker
