Hi
So, the Somali pirates use AK-47s and grenade launchers to attack the ship, but the US Navy advised to use very effective water spray hoses. My question: why the US Navy will not use right weapon to fix that problem once and forever???
What kind of clowns gave the order to use water hoses against pirates?
1:28 1:28
The European Union dumped a lot of trash in their oceans. What comes around goes around
🤓😜😂😛🤠😀😆🤩🤑🤣👻
People insane enough to attack a warship on a rubber boat deserves the Darwin prize.
So please award it to them.
Yeah … I get a cargo ship.. but a navy ship, you gotta be retarded
some of them , maybe all of the attackers are just there to ask asylum to the US
Kinda sounds like fun,watching them catch fire
Let's give them the years end Pulitzer Darwin award hahaha ❤

"As we learned in the 18th century, the way to stop piracy is to kill the pirates." -- Colonel Jeff Cooper.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

yup blow the apes away problem solved
LtC Katherine Cooper - I concur!
Just leave their sea alone
@@SomaliOmegle Great solution stop all international trade. That should stop piracy.
I’m USA Merchant Marine, often transiting the Horn of Africa, we are extremely vulnerable, although being 660 feet over all we make only 17 knots max. Our ships take aboard Mercenaries as we move into the Indian Ocean east to west. We individually are not allowed personal weapons but our Mercs assure us they will and have shot to kill .
God Bless Them !
That is badass.
And I’m actually glad that seamen aren’t allowed their own weapons as the Ping Shin incident showed how quickly it can become a oceanic horror show
@@seansingh4421 Me too! For the most part our seafarers are level headed guys and gals who are conscientious and great shipmates. But…I have run into a bad apple or two in my three decades at sea. One in particular who would insinuate that he had smuggled a pistol abroad and hidden it in a lower deck, a common bully. Last I heard he had tried to intimidate the wrong person and ended up with the USCG pulling his MMC. Good Riddance!
Fair Winds and Calm Seas Bro 😎
@@darh3375 Yeah dude, atleast on Land the enforcement, policing and detection of violent shit like that is easy. You guys in the sea either got jackshit or depend on CGs
You SHOULD allowed a weapon for self defense!! It's absurd that you're not!!
I worked the HST moving the ship to the WASP for NCIS investigation. We also moved a number of the injured pirates for medical treatment. I was told by one of the gunners that one dude just started popping off. Was proud of being able to be a part of it
Stop using "non lethal deterrants" and sink them to begin with. Take away the incentive to commit piracy and it will slow down if not stop. The pirates are the ones that opted to begin piracy, let them suffer the consequences.
the reason piracy persists is because other countries keep illegaly overfishing Somalian waters, dumping nuclear waste in their waters and stealing their land resources (mainly use, russia, china) so that people are left with no other choice than to turn to criminality.
Say it Louder 😅
Are you not familiar with the Democrats lack of punishing criminals? Just look at the severe crime in their Democrat-run cities…
Go to their own ports and light em up there.
Sink everything in the port…..
Absolutely agree.
I was on an aircraft carrier, and TRUST ME, THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL, a pirate could take one of those ships. No way in hell. They wouldn’t even get close.
I had to laugh when hearing about the "life and death struggle" between a few pirate skiffs and a US Navy Destroyer. I'm sure it was a close battle. Pretty much a toss up. Lol.
Still no reason not to show them why they shouldn't approach not only a US navy vessel but any vessel. Approch with hostile intend and you get lit up and sent to the bottom. Period. Just like the Russians handle them
Yea this is ridiculous, pirates attack the navy? Haha they have enough firepower to level a whole country, if i was a pirate an Aircraft carrier would be the last thing id fuck with 😆
Yeah, it will be literally impossible, for a pirate to take any US NAVAL ship. Impossible. They stand no chance at all.
@@vicvega3614 Aircraft carriers always travel in battle groups. Never alone.
I appreciate the embellishments added to the story. But as far as I can find the reports stated they were attacking at night, and didn't realize they were attacking a navy warship until it was too late.
Exactly!! They wouldn't never go to a US navy ship.. merchant ships is one thing but a navy ship is far fetch
So this attack was justified even though at night..
One brass per.
All attacks are not accepted. Whether US War Ship or not. Night or Day.
@@wesleywood6306
Imagine trying to attack a ship so large and advanced that its individual guns are bigger than your boats.
I’m having a hard time understanding why our Navy developed and uses “non-lethal deterrents”! These are armed people attacking ships! Why not just let the lead rip on them? Without them being sent to Davy Jones’s locker, they’ll just keep doing it!
Because we are not monsters like they are. Our job is to protect, not to just murder the idiots attacking the ships and innocents. The Navy is to bring them to some form of legal justice, not lethal justice. The Navy is an instrument of the United States of America. While I agree with your feelings to a degree, the Navy is not the judge, jury and executioner.
Its not the navy, commercial container ships can’t have lethal weapons on them.
@@billyshuig6087 They sure need to change that law.
Very true. If pirates attack with lethal intent, sink them. No pity, just one simple answer. They won't do it again.
@@tea4223 They mainly are accompanied by navy ships near pirate infested waters, but navy ships can’t leave international waters and can only be so close near some ports.
You know what's better than a water cannon?
An actual cannon.
Looks like a water cannon could fill a pirate boat full of water so fast that the perps would be drowning in seconds...
How would you know? Call of Duty I guess.
laughing 👍
😂 that gave me a belly laugh.🤣
@@youtubezcy Empirical evidence from every war in world history since the invention of the canon.
You know we’re in trouble
When the navy is non lethal
17th century pirates usually appeared because the various empires at war with each other hired people with their own cannon-outfitted ships to fight for them as privateers, then revoked their letter of marque after the war ended. This left them with usually few options to make a living even when they were aware that they were no longer legal mercenaries. The modern equivalent would be like a private citizen owning a destroyer or cruiser and being hired by us to harass Russia or China, then we suddenly revoke their commission later. That would be a much bigger problem for us than some guys on speed boats.
Exactly!
So, in this particular case what on earth were these Pirates, or their paymasters, hoping to achieve by such a mad attack with, presumably, no hope of survival?
@gordanaparthur9267 There are no pay masters. These are just desperate opportunists, who are determined to either strike it rich or die trying. It's a different paradigm to pirates of old
@@gordanaparthur9267 they're basically the nigerian prince - water edition
Can you imagine even attempting to overtake an actual us DESTROYER WARSHIP!? I'm trying so hard to see the mindset of how the pirates thought that would go, to say they were "emboldened" is the greatest understatement ever. It would be like... if a bunny rabbit strode up to the lions pride with legitimate intent to whip some ass. Mind boggling.
they're starving and desperate, their life is just suffering (so has no value to them) ... it's kinda "why not?" Sad really
Nah, it's not really desperation as much as its that they are stupid, stupid, dumb m*therf*ckers high on drugs, thinking their shot out cold war equipment could take out a warship.
@@_efaulttheir intent wasn't suicide.
NO MY FRIENDS... we are SOMALI . ... we don't give a shit how much heat ANYONE is packing... ... AND No they aren't starving and desperate .... just arrogantAly confident.... and reckless..... an absolute MUST if you claim to be a Somali.... VERY VERY DEEPLY ROOTED in our culture..... PURE Supremacy over all others that claim to be a real man.... you guys should study somalia a little... the real SOMALIA🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴😂
They are emboldened by our "non-lethal" policies, which in their eyes makes us complete pussies, meaning they, as real men, will have no problem beating the odds even when outgunned. By allowing western civilization to be pussified we allow others to take grave advantage of us.
When pirates return home safely it sends the wrong message. When they go out and never return and are never seen again, it sends the right message.
I'd argue there's value in letting one or two get back to tell everyone what happened, but I don't disagree.
@@rustyjones7908or not letting them go back and have them fear the possibility of not surviving at all
Totally agree
If we let pirates survive an attack, we allow the experience pool to develop for pirates. Dead men dont teach young men how to fight.
"We did it! Now those poor starving people living in cardboard will never think of attacking ship again"
You talk like it will stop all piracy in the world. People know piracy is risky, they know they can die but if it's the only option to survive there's no way they will stop it. Do you really think those people will stop trying to survive? That's naive way of thinking, no message was sent, pirates won't reconsider their choice because they have no other choice
Informative. Thank You!
That gunners face @13:03 is hilarious he's like "GET SOME!" xD
Show NO mercy to the pirates - let them suffer the consequences!
@Bezos-cp9gkThank you Bezos.
I'd say the same but... The men found to be "Somali Coastguardsmen" could either have been captured and coerced to become pirates, or they were doing it for side hustle. If they were somewhat not willing to be pirates, against their or their family's well being, then they're not actual pirates. If they were smart and know to escape, they'd abandon their vessel when the Navy fires upon them, and wait for help. But if the pirates are holding their family hostage, then they don't really have that option since innocent people would still be in danger. Very unfortunate for the victims.
Use them for target practice.
@@9a8szmf79g9 Just like gang members become what they are, they join, they are greedy
Exactly! Attacking a U. S. Navy ship? Are they kidding? If a U S Navy ship wanted to do so it could blow every one of the pirate's boats out of the water within minutes. It would be a disaster if pirates got their hands on a U S Navy ship, as those ships are literally equipped to conduct a war. It is critical that the U S Navy wins the scourge of piracy.
Exchange the water cannons for guns you will get less pirates instead of just clean ones
the reason piracy persists is because other countries keep illegaly overfishing Somalian waters, dumping nuclear waste in their waters and stealing their land resources (mainly use, russia, china) so that people are left with no other choice than to turn to criminality.
This is what a large chunk of commercial shipping does now. You'll be hard pressed to find an American flagged cargo or tanker ship sailing around Africa without a contingent of heavily armed PMCs onboard
@Bezos-cp9gkin the name of who?
@Bezos-cp9gk Troll.
@Bezos-cp9gkfuck Allah
imagine choosing to be a pirate in an era of destroyer warships and lethal drones.
Warships being attacked by pirates? That's crazy!
Jack Sparrow: "But you have heard of me."
Regarding the pirates attacking the USS Gonzalez, they got off *really* light. Among other armaments, the Gonzalez has two Phalanx CIWS weapon systems on board. Having seem them in action personally, they could easily turn those small boats into matchsticks in a matter of moments. The ONLY reason those pirates weren't all instantly turned into chum is because we wanted prisoners.
What's ciws?
@@Jakethegreat951-dq7sjI just Googled it, and I’ll leave you to follow up, but the following titbits give an idea of how deadly these weapons systems are:
Block 0/1: 3,000 rounds/minute (50 rounds/second)
Block 1A/1B: 4,500 rounds/minute (75 rounds/second)
Essentially, pirate boat and crew are reduced to matchsticks and “soup”.
@@Jakethegreat951-dq7sj It is essentially a countermeasure weapon that primarily deals with taking out incoming projectiles like artillery and missiles and also enemy military aircraft. It isn't exactly intended to turn other ships into Swiss cheese, however, and I can't be certain if they ever will use it for that purpose.
The abbreviation is "Close-in Weapons System".
@@Jakethegreat951-dq7sj It's a computer-guided weapon system that kinda looks like R2-D2 with a gatling gun on it. It's used a lot for incoming missile defense but is also used against smaller boats. It uses automatic acquisition tracking and fires 20x102mm rounds at a max rate of fire of 75 rounds per second. When you hear it in action, you can't even hear the individual rounds being fired. It just sounds like a loud buzz. When I was in Iraq, they used the land-based version of this called the "Centurion" to protect against mortar and rocket attacks. There were more than a few times when I would wake up in the middle of the night from the sound of it firing. I just went back to sleep because if it hit the incoming mortar, we were safe. If it missed it, well it'd all be over anyhow.
@@daviddebroux4708 It's true that it's primarily used for projectile defense. However, ever since they released the Block 1B variant, it has included a "Surface Mode" for just such an occasion.
DETERRENCE MADE EASY:
1) Sink their vessels
2) Skip survivor recovery efforts
3) Disperse chum in lieu of recovery I guarantee an immediate and dramatic reduction in piracy
Apparently, the people in charge are a bunch of wimps... most likely liberals. Catch and release doesn't work.
Yep
@Bezos-cp9gk Sorry ...no. Jesus Christ, the son of God, is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
"Thou shalt not kill"?
@@BlackHearthguard That sounds good. That is until those approaching you are armed and have little issue with killing YOU.
In that case, such absolutes don't make sense.
I was in the navy for 6 years. Watched one of those boats approach our ship. We turned them into a reef. Really was a waste of bullets tbh
i love how the second clip of the video shows you exactly the answer to the title's question lmao
IF the naval forces were NOT handcuffed the pirates would receive summary punishment.
@Bezos-cp9gk Tell that to Daniel Pearl. I am certain he will be impressed.
@Bezos-cp9gk I bear witness there are no gods at all. Anyone claiming to be a "messenger" like Muhammed, are conmen.
I didn't mention the Jesus because there is not enough evidence to show he actually lived. He is an invented character of the buy-bull.
@@GNOBNX So in the the Navy they use emotion to kill. In the rest of the militaries we choose not to use emotions or religion. When emotion is involved it is murder, when religion is involved it is jihad/murder. Just put steel on target and keep it professional. Emotions are for women, children, and police.
@Bezos-cp9gk your allah is tickling my taint
@Bezos-cp9gk seek Jesus and ye shall be found lost child of the dessert. Why would a bear be a witness, they dont talk very well, silly idea.
They should take them out and prevent them from harming or extorting others
the reason piracy persists is because other countries keep illegaly overfishing Somalian waters, dumping nuclear waste in their waters and stealing their land resources (mainly use, russia, china) so that people are left with no other choice than to turn to criminality. makes you think who the real pirates are
dude this is so cool i love earning about things like this
I certainly did love this. I almost became a part of the Navy and I sometimes wonder what my life would have been like if I had succeeded to join. However, it may be too late for me, I'm too old and my knees don't work like they used to. However, there's still a very proud part of me that these people are protecting us. I'm forever grateful for our service members and I've had a few old friends who have joined. Needless to say, I still feel a sense of brotherhood for them even though I haven't joined. Anyway, be careful out there civilians these soldiers clearly have come to the fight well prepared.
American soliders protecting America on somalian waters, such heroes
The US military doesn’t protect anything anymore. They are puppets for small hat globalists that bully others and engage in tyranny.
If you wish to actually help your nation, look to the national guard. Wildly under appreciated.
It's not too late for you to become a pirate, though. Which is almost the same thing.
At 8:20, the U.S. Navy was NOT "locked in a life-or-death struggle against a brazen and of pirates." There was NO chance of the pirates taking control of that naval vessel, so the "life or death" aspect applied strictly to the pirates.
It turns out that, if they had fired an RPG at you, that the American flag painted on the side of the ship wouldn't stop you from dying.
There wasn't a threat the Navy ship would lose, but you would rather suffer zero casualties.
If lives are at risk it's life or death. Armed pirates are still armed, someone could easily have been shot on board.
If a pirate can kill one single soldier, before they get killed by all the army on board, it's in fact a death or life situation. Everyone counts
Looking for any Luffy comments 😅
@@Beanpolr "Struggle" infers that the outcome is uncertain. Could the Navy ship have been forced to surrender?
I never realized there was a lethal force doctrine for pirates. When I was still active duty in the Marine Corps I was on security detail on an HSV-2 (looks like an armored version of an oversized Catamaran) and it didn't come stock with any onboard weapons since it was basically for personnel and logistics transport. We had to pass through the East China Sea and were told to just shoot anybody trying to board the ship. I was excited to see real-life pirates but they never came.
There probably is not. Unlike the notorious Somali pirates.
@@Minnie--ru2ewthere are pirates in the South China Sea. Right behind Somalia. The 3rd region is the Caribbean Sea. Of Honduras coast.
@@Minnie--ru2ew There's a major choke point near there that many ships have no choice but to pass through, and pirates like to target them as they enter or exit.
No rules on the high seas. lol
@@calliarcale Then that is where the military Naval vessels need to operate full contact at all times!
If any of you haven't seen the movie Captain Phillips (Tom Hanks) I highly recommend it. It has to do with this topic. And it is excellent.
Brother manning the gun at 13:00 is really getting into his job. LOL
Pirate ships should be sunk when they attack. If the pirates shoot at the ship or personnel then they should immediately be subject to return fire en masse.
Send them to allah
@Bezos-cp9gk Introduce the pirates to Allah.
Sink em, sharks gotta eat.
@@user-qt4ee4nb1h Great for Target Practice.
Wouldn't blowing them out of the water be the most responsible course of action? I mean if they are willing to attack a Navy ship, they pose an enormous danger to any private or commercial vessel.
Thing is the pirates don't attack any naval ship. They are not smart but they are also not that stupid. And water jets are used by commercial ships, not naval ships.
The video actually showed them attacking a naval ship and used them as an example.@@exterminator4808
Tell that to O'Biden
That's only way in my eyes blow them away slow quick however needs to be done then leave them wounded in water miles from shore seems reasonable
All of them were fishers before but since China, etc. unlawfully overfished the shores there is no living to be made by fishing anymore and those people became desperate and turned to piracy. The international community brought this on themselves by kicking someone who was already on the ground. Now killing them because they are trying to keep their family alive is not very moral.
Good job by the servicemen, God bless them and keep their families safe.
Pirate crewman getting shot at with the most high tech weaponry: "Who thought this was a good idea? WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?"
Piracy was virtually stopped back in the day because the navy's used lethal force. If they have rocket launchers, better believe they mean to use lethal force upon their target. Not sinking everyone of their ships puts everyone else at sea in danger.
Shoe 2 quil.
They only attack Supply merchant ships.
Those ships are huge, but have a very small crew.
US naval ships help protect the water ways and those merchant ships.
I did a few Naval cruises in that area.
100% agree about sinking every single one. The fact that they carry weapons meant for war and clear willingness to use them is enough reason to send them to Davy Jones locker. The lure of a payoff will dry up when no one comes back.
@@leocush2653 you obviously don't know what despair does to a man. If not by the lack of income then by being forced to do this or else your entire family gets murdered by some local militia. It's short sighted to say we should just kill all pirates.
“discovered a lifeless body,” lol. Another way of say they fatally short one. 😂
The fact that any unauthorized boat that approaches a US Navy ship is not immediately destroyed shows they have forgotten the lessons of the USS Cole.
There is a distance that once you are called off and pass they will sink you
Clinton's Folly.
Exactly Mike!
I’m impressed with your use of the term “ecosystem services”.
I was selected to be one of 3 military members on a non military cargo ship going to Guatemala. I was not in the Navy so it kinda freaked me out. I was given 2 9mm and ammo that I transported in 18 wheelers from Montana to Houston, and told to report on board to the Captain. The Captain opened a gun safe and explained there ammo pallet never made it so I was the only one with ammo as they had shotguns. He said pirates could be a problem and asked if I had any problem defended? I told him he had nothing to worry about except steering 😂😂😂
👍
What these ships should do is, as soon as guns are pointed at them, don't threaten them, sink their boat with them in it, and as far from the ship as possible. You don't want them to retreat and look for another less prepared target. Treat pirates as serial killers, you don't let them get away to attack someone in the future, you do away with them. I certainly wouldn't want to find out that the pirates I chased away just found an easier target to harm. You do away with pirates and you can sleep at night knowing you prevented others from being harmed.
@Bezos-cp9gk We will pass on your invitation to worship your Islamic god "allah", and instead sink your pirate buddies to the bottom of the sea...
That is exactly what happens though. They are giving the pirates water and food so they can stay out longer.
@Bezos-cp9gkdidn’t Mohammed have little boys he used as concubines? Never worship religions who condone sex with children.
Yea this is ridiculous, pirates attack the navy? Haha they have enough firepower to level a whole country
Me personally, I think they should start sinking every one of those pirate ships when they come across them. You get enough of those pirates dying off trying to do something unlawful then 1 of 2 things will most likely happen. First, they keep up with their nonsense and end up becoming extinct as a result or secondly, they learn from what is happening and stop their nonsense. Either way, in my humble opinion I believe the piracy problem would soon not be a problem
Agreee. Just "eliminate" the problem.
Simple When there’s roaches use raid
I absolutely agree... I think we should sink every single one of those pirate vessels and take no prisoners... We're already wasting enough of our tax dollars having to be there in the first place... I don't want to have to be supporting those parasites on top of it... Turn them into fish food
"Thou shalt not kill"?
@@BlackHearthguard Actually it's "thou shalt not commit murder". The Biblical God and His minions did a great deal of killing after that commandment was passed down.
"You know this one time in Pirate training camp, we went out for a raid on a US CV Group, and we were heading straight for that CV and about 25 km out we suddenly were capsized as a US sub surfaced and next thing we know...

I used to work on an off shore drilling rig off the coast of africa. Pirates are definitely real.
this "kinder gentler" non lethal version of anti-piracy is why piracy is STILL HERE
Facts, like I hate why killing them is "too much" even though they themselves are a form of aggression
Nah. The reason why piracy is "still there" is the reward is such an huge deal it's worth to risk your life over it. Literally hundreds of millions of dollars.
job security
If they were all wearing MAGA hats I assure you the Navy would shred them with machinegun fire. But since they fit the demographic, they won't be touched these days
the last thing the pirates hear before allHELL breaks loose is the captain of the carrier asking, "Are you SURE you want to do this?"
Reminds me of the attacks on the french flagship La Somme. She was built as a transport, but reoutfited for an anti piracy command role. She got attacked twice over a couple of days, and both times the pirates met a VERY unwelcome surprise.
I feel that cargo ships should have a full on security crew. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. It's just another thing our government can take hold of us.
I was aboard the USS Nashville lpd13 from 93 to 96 and right there off mog in April 93. Our 25mm deck guns were ooc most of the time it seemed.
I never imagined pirates would attempt to attack a warship until this video lol
😂
lmao
No one ever accused them of being smart lol.
They are lying to push their agenda, it's not pirate as define in this video. American and european company dump their trash and chemicals in the water off of Africa. The Somalis are trying to fight back to stop the dumping in their waters that wash up on the shores.
Their arrogance is limitless.
I nearly laughed when I heard that story about those pirates straight up attacking TWO Navy warships... WTF did you think was going to happen??? Literally the definition of "Fucked around and found out." XD
I don't understand why navy ships would use passive security measures but I once heard that the reason comercial ships prefer passive defences was that pirates commonly had weapons that can heavily damage or even sink ships. They didn't want to "push" pirates into using them by killing their friends or heavily threatening their lives.
Well capital ships are never alone - with every carrier there is a fleet of ships - they just need to detach one of them, solved. The typical breakdown for a current carrier battlegroup includes one carrier (CV or CVN), two cruisers (CGs and/or CGNs), three destroyers (DDs and/or DDGs) or frigates (FFs and/or FFGs) and one auxiliary (AE, AOE, or AOR). Some battlegroups also include a fast attack submarine (SSN) operating in a support role.
I served on a U.S. submarine and TRUST ME, there's NO WAY pirates could seize or capture our ship! 😂

@@welcometooaudioland7877
Optics go on weapons, and weapons should be used to shoot pirates.
I see now that the US military doesn't offer any real consequences to pirates that approach their vessels to attack. That's probably why the practice persists.
I couldn't figure out who, in their right mind, attacks a U.S. Navy ship from a dinghy. Do we provide the pirates with lunch menus now?
What a pathetic Navy we have ,weak leaders and a squishy president. Every enemy were have is encouraged to get stronger and attack us. We have to attack first,dsink their ships and lay waste to their land dwellings. Problem solved. Please stop any immigration from these people to America we already have enough criminals.
Yes, the CIWS would turn the Pirates into fish food in 2 seconds
Because we would be the "Big Bullies" in the world's eyes. There's enough anti American feelings out there without feeding the flames.
the reason piracy persists is because other countries keep illegaly overfishing Somalian waters, dumping nuclear waste in their waters and stealing their land resources (mainly use, russia, china) so that people are left with no other choice than to turn to criminality.
Finally, we got real live simulation to practice on.
FYI, at 2:02, "water cannon" is misspelled as "water canon", which would mean "water principle" (or, loosely, "The Way of Water" ... lol).
The big problem with piracy is the non lethal means of dealing with them.
This, just sink their boats and leave them in the ocean to their fate, instead of non lethal means.
@@jozefrockatansky1588Exactly! Being attacked by pirates on small boats ain't scary at all! Just sink their boats! 😂

Looking down in the comments section, I wish the video had also given some insight into why a lot of Africans living by the coasts turn to piracy. But otherwise, this was a great video showcasing piracy and the threat it poses is being taken very seriously.
PIRATES DON'T FEEL THREATENED BY OUR NAVY . This is because the Navy only chases them away; instead of PUNISHING THEM!
With how pricey our military’s cutting-edge munitions are, it’s probably actually cheaper to not use it to atomize them. It’s like that 4chan greentext about a guy who got confronted by a mugger for his wallet, magdumped his handgun into him, and then realized the cost of the ammo he just used was actually worth significantly more than the cash he was carrying.
@@recursiveslacker7730 ; WORTH IT to rid the world of evil, though!
Just like the southern border.
@@markcritic2409 I mean it probably wouldn't do much to stop piracy. Most people do it out of desperation or poverty and would be willing to take the risk. I'm obviously not excusing piracy in the slightest though
Have you ever wondered why the US military is so interested in chasing "pirates" away on the other side of the world? Convenient isn't it to call the locals "pirates" and reduce them to sub humans when their resources and seas are being robbed by western countries.
I don't understand. As a proud U.S. NAVY veteran I remember reading in my BlueJackets manual that one of the primary missions of the U.S. NAVY was to protect the waterways and sealanes of the free world and the seagoing vessels of the ships flagged by non hostile nations.
( not verbatim) but that was the gist. If an unidentified craft, boat, ship or aircraft approaches a U.S. warship and crosses a boundary, SHOOT IT THE F**K outta the sky or water!!! And then either deny it or declare it a defensive action. PERIOD 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
But....But.....what if they identified as trans pirates? what then?
Pls bully the Chinese navy.
In the days when Britain had a navy, the Royal Navy didn't mess about and pirates soon learned not to attack British ships. The kid glove methods used nowadays merely encourage them and perpetuate the problem. US marines landed on the Barbary Coast in 1815 and convinced the local rulers that attacking US ships was also a bad idea.
Not sure if you heard the bit about the Somali Coastguardsmen that "went missing". They were either captured and coerced into being pirates, or worse, they're doing it as side hustle as actual pirates. Given, if they're innocent or there are innocent people among the pirates, that's probably why Navy vessels don't just outright give them what they deserve.
@Bezos-cp9gk so, Let me see if I understand. By your logic, our armed forces should never defend themselves because some bad guy may be putting a poor soul up to it? This is exactly the type of weak thought process that emboldens them to begin with.
You know you F'd up when you picked a fight with a ship and a browning .50 is their "small" gun. 😂
"As we learned from Alestorm, the only way to be a pirate is to go 'back through time to fight the Viking horde'"😅
My ex was in the navy during Vietnam, his was a fuel carrier and had plenty of protection. But their procedure was to call out in several languages to any boats/ships getting close and if they kept coming they were blown out of the water. Nuf said!!
Golly, gee!
If you want piracy to stop, you need to increase the consequences to pirates.
And stop feeding them info lol.
Not to down scale the costs to the world commerce and safety at sea, but the pirates have no jobs, no way to feed their families, no benefits of modern society at all really. So they are desperate to do whatever it takes. The Code For lethal force has something to do with that? Meanwhile our brave seamen have their lives ruined and taken from them. It seems there is only one way to stop pirates, and yet, I wish there was some plan that included some form of mutual humanity. When a sailor 's life and well being is threatened, it seems sure that ending the threat makes perfect sense. That seems to be lethal force to me. The rules of engagement are a study I would like to see more of. This is a combat situation all the way. So exactly why is the Navy holding back?
@@spartandodge6034 International laws of the sea are the dictate. Pretty antiquated stuff today -- there weren't many RPGs or AK47s back in Black Beard's day.
Just let them swim home. (If there are sharks in the area, start them bleeding before setting them loose.)
If you mean sinking the ships, I'm not sure that will be effective. There is a near limitless supply of desperate young men, and the arms and small skiffs aren't difficult to obtain either. You'd just be pouring resources into a game of whack-a-mole and nothing would actually get better. Now, get their home countries to cooperate better (effective prosecution of captured pirates, investigation of their networks, to cut off the problem at its source, etc.) and then we might get somewhere.
I saw this video in my feed and clicked on it just to make a "do they realize they are attacking an actual warship" comment only to see thousand of those :D
This seems like a really extensive and expensive way to fight the pirates. Can’t they just mount a few cannons or machine guns on the ships to just destroy the pirates as they approach the ships? Also maybe a few trained and well armed guards would be a good thing for these ships to have.
Would that solve the problem? Most likely yes. Unfortunately, however, lots of ports around the world won't allow armed ships to enter, so that means that most shipping vessels effectively don't have this option available to them.
@@vbscript2 well that sucks! Yet again, the good ppl get punished while the law breakers get rewarded!
The main problem in the near shore areas of almost everywhere is that civilian ships and boats are not allowed to carry firearms. So, freighters and small personal craft are relegated to carrying squirt guns, machetes and flare guns against bad guys with AK47s and RPGs. The real reason for those restrictions are that the governments of the surrounding countries do not want anyone possessing firearms that might fall into the hands of their citizens because most of the citizens would righteously rise up against the despots governing them.
Well said, it's apolitical problem, that the politicians do not want to solve.
You spelled the US, China and Russia who are already supporting said governments wrong.
The local governments are worried about ordinary law abiding citizens being armed, but the pirates all have AK47's and PRG's.
That sounds like insanity to me.
Like our gun laws. Criminals don't obey the law and victims are the problem.
One more point here. A number of those early pirates were actually hired by the governments to intercept other countries ships on the high seas. This was to capture treasure for their nation. They were called "PRIVATEERS" Oh, and one of the ships they went after were Spanish galleons that were loaded with treasure from the Americas!
Officers and officials of kingdoms when on the high seas often operated as rogue agents as well. One famous pirate was Cortez. Technically he was with Spain. But make no mistake. He was a murderous thieving pirate rampaging his way through the world.
Also...the US constitution allows the granting of Letters of Marque, licencing of piracy by citizens.

Pirate Captain: “Hey guys. It’s one of the United States most powerful vessels. Let’s attack it. What can go wrong?!”😂😂😂
US crew: “Oh look. Target practice.”
“Raising awareness?” Give me a break. When the consequences are great enough, the surviving pirates- the ones who didn’t participate in that particular operation- will have plenty of “awareness” that it’s time to get into another line of work.
My ship (USS NICHOLAS) was attacked by pirates in 2010 April 1st (yeah, I know 😂) We ended up capturing them and waiting for NCIS to come pick them up. They thought we was a small civilian ship, until we shot back with 50. Cal. It happened in the middle of the night.
As long as you pick up pirates and bring them back to land, they will think of ways to do their job better to take what ever they want from the sea... But if you teach them a lesson, and sink their boats, make it hard for them to get to shore... they will stop...
If they're going to release the pirates back to their home country then they should be sent back without their ships and assets, give them to Ukraine or scrap them instead. If they want to commit piracy they should be prepared for the same happening to them.
It's God's job to judge. We arrange the meeting.

I’m assuming they all had a death wish because there’s no way they didn’t know what they were up against. There’s also no way they thought they could take over any military’s ship.
Of course they are that dumb , they're black
I'm guessing it's some combination of drug-induced overconfidence, desperation, and straight up ignorance; they literally don't understand the power of a military ship and crew relative to their own.

As a former naval officer. I have always been puzzled by your response to pirates. There is just too much area to cover and so few ships. I always thought the lessons we learn in the first and second world war could apply. Why don’t we just reestablish convoys. Put all your eggs in one basket, thereby making them easier to protect.
You would need a massive amount of cooperation between civilian and military forces. From a financial standpoint this would be very practical because the insurance cost would decrease if convoys are protected by naval forces.

I have seen a couple of documentaries on this recently; it's ridiculous. They spend millions and millions to be "kinder and gentler" to the pirates. The container ships are terrified and mostly unarmed, not allowed to do anything. There are several navys patrolling who arrest the pirates when they can, and what do they do? The UN makes them send the pirates to pirate countries for "trial" where they turn them loose. And in some cases, they take the pirates guns, give them food and water, and send them on their way. It's insane. Sink the pirate boats. Put snipers and guns on the cargo ships. If captured, hang the pirates on the spot as a deterrent. Or if captured and released, publicly castrate them and throw them back on their boats; eventually that will thin them out. People scream "Oh, the horror! These poor people are just acting out of desperation!" So, the UN maybe should work to solve that problem first. But show a strong response on the water. Society as a whole has turned into a bunch of wimps.
This.
I’ve heard about this menace on the seas, but can’t find a lot of info. Can you steer me toward these documentaries? Thanks!
Amen!! Well said!!
The soft glove approach to pirates isn't because of being "wimps". But I guess people that can't think two inches beyond the obvious might believe this. Its because the priority is ensuring crew safety. You start shooting the pirates from cargo ships and they come back better armed. Instead of seeking ransom, they just start murdering the crews.
Agreed
For better results start blowing pirates out of the water.
Love the usage from the movie Captain Phillips. Better to keep it real.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
