Did you know that not a single French unit broke and surrendered/ran in WWII?
Didn't think so.

:salute to the French for fighting these Pirates.
-
Wow, calm down. :lol
And yes, I did know that. :)

Can anyone decode these hand signals that the pirates gave to the French sailors as they approached them??

Way to go France! :aok

The pics didn't show any obvious emplacements. Does anyone know if there were any weapons points on the ship other than possibly an anti missile gattling gun system?

Almost nothing :
1 canon de 40mm anti-aérien
4 mitrailleuses de 12.7mm
3 Simbad (short range AA missiles)
-
Enough to turn that boat into toothpicks tho....
-
the article I read stated the pirates opened fire with AK-47's .. in the dark .. obviously thinking the French Flagship was a merchant ship.
OOPS.
Now .. if I were French ..I would say that was a declaration of war and respond as such.
'Bring all guns to bear'
'Open Fire when ready'
'Cease Fire' (when boats are destroyed)
(zerr weel bee nonn of ziss 'chassing' and running about een ze dark, no?)

Plenty to take out some skiffs with idiots in them. Pity they were not in a position to actually use them on the skiffs. I say that only because there are no skiffs or pirates with large holes in them. More the pity.

France is a key member of the EU's naval mission, Operation Atalanta, fighting Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden.
It has aggressively tracked and caught suspected pirates and handed over at least 22 to Kenya.
An additional 15 suspects were brought to France for prosecution after allegedly seizing boats belonging to French nationals.
Keep this kind of thing up, the pirates might get the message . . .
Or blow them out of the water at the slightest provocation . . . then I think they will get the message.

Yup the new one is not really funny. Their desire to protect child molesters.
They should just shoot the pirates. Fish need to eat same as the buzzards.
-
Nice hijack. :bolt:
-
Why wouldnt you kill them? ...........probably democrats :neener:

Remember what the french did to Polynesia.
Pirates : Look a cargo freighter, we go on board and hold them up with our 38 year old ex Soviet poorly maintained AK47's and rusty machetes. Hey look a search light............ohhhhhhh craaaaaaaaaap
"COPS THEME MUSIC"
French: Halt la mother beyotches "chatunk" 5 incher loaded commander. It would be in youre best intrez's if you don't move "we".
Ands over ze heads
:D Coolest bust EVER

Then the pirate captain says! "First mate.... bring me my brown pants!"

Enough to turn that boat into toothpicks tho....
I wonder how many rounds one would need from a .50 caliber Browning M2 to neutralize one of those boats??

I'm not sure how many it would take for the boat but if the pirates were lined up right, just one would do the job.
