I don’t know about you but I am getting tired of this piracy problem. It is time to start taking drastic action against these folks.

The ships and their crew need to be equipped to defend against pirates. Such things as early warning systems and secured cabin areas should provide at least a passive security measure. Plus, the crew should be armed and trained to defend themselves against pirates.

The days of Blue Beard and Black Beard and every other Beard should be a thing of the past by now. But as long as these ships sit there unwilling or unable to defend themselves, they will continue to be victims of these pirates.
