I say, to catch a pirate...

... we send a pirate.

"The 4th Earl of Hereford led the fight on the bridge, but he and his men were caught in the arrow fire. Then one of de Harclay's pikemen, concealed beneath the bridge, thrust upwards between the planks and skewered the Earl of Hereford through the anus, twisting the head of the iron pike into his intestines. His dying screams turned the advance into a panic."'

Huh. That's less than 10 condoms per person. Though, assuming an even split between gender, that's almost 20 condoms per penis, so I certainly hope that would suffice for the three weeks they're there. -Alferd Packer

This sentence is false.

You know, I would probably pay to watch a film documenting the exploits of a professional, competent crew of such a ship. It could be an hour and a half of cat and mouse hunting, maybe sorting out a few intra-ship problems, and with a few minutes of tracers and explosions.

One can just simply ram the pirate trawlers and speedboats. It's not as if they can actually outrun a destroyer.
Turns out that a five way cross over between It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Ali G Show, Fargo, Idiocracy and Veep is a lot less funny when you're actually living in it.

Yeah, but they'll ding up your front end, especially if they have RPGs. Excellent work alluding to "RAM THEM UNTIL THEY GIVE UP!" though.

Deepest apologies, but the fact of the matter is that the PRFYTFCP has the opportunity to

1. Be Awesome
2. Kick some fuckin' ass
3. Fuck some fuckin' ass (there's gotta be a few hot somali girls, or at least a couple of pirate wenches)
4. Get paid
5. Earn a favor from the UN

As far as i can see, it's a win-win-win-win-win situation 8)
