Some Somali Pirates thought they found an easy target but boy were they wrong. Turns out that it was a Dutch Warship. Marines onbaord the ship gave off warning shots which made the Pirates flee to their boats.

i think it is funny as all hell... what i dont understand is why didnt they arrest them all.. i guess not having a government might be it but they could have easily sunk the ship and left them on shore....
overall it is a funny story no harm no foul... but they should have tried to get as much intel on other pirate boats...
The Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and the Strait of Hormuz have so much traffic go through them and so many pirates tagging along (almost as bad as the Strait of Malacca) my guess is that it might be beneficial to fire off a few warning shots at any boat that looks ready to blow a hole in your tanker.
Might've saved the Cole.
