19 minutes ago... ROME – An Italian cruise ship fended off a pirate attack off the coast of Somalia, with its security forces exchanging fire with the bandits, the commander said Saturday.
Cmdr. Ciro Pinto told Italian state radio that six men in a small white boat approached the Msc Melody and opened fire Saturday night, but retreated after security forces aboard the cruise ship returned fire.
Domenico Pellegrino, head of the ship-owner Msc Cruises, told ANSA news agency that all 1,500 passengers and crew aboard the Melody were safe, and credited Pinto for his "cool-headed" handling of the incident.
The attack occurred about 180 miles (290 kilometers) north of the Seychelles. The ship was on a 22-day cruise from Durban, South Africa, to Genoa, Italy.
ANSA said the ship was now headed as scheduled to the Jordanian port of Aqaba.
Pirates have attacked more than 100 ships off the Somali coast over the last year, reaping an estimated $1 million in ransom for each successful hijacking, according to analysts and country experts.
Another Italian-owned vessel remains in the hands of pirates. The Italian-flagged tugboat Buccaneer was seized off Somalia on April 11 with 16 crew members aboard.

There are laws against sailors carrying guns in many countries, also many ports wont allow an armed vessel to stay.
The program was talking about giant water cannons and Navy-developed "slippery bombs" that blow up on the pirate's boat and coat everything in a synthetic grease that makes it impossible to stand up :chuckles:

& once they're coated in grease slipping all over the deck, then you can pick them off slowly using only small arms fire, not aiming for fatal shots and using as much ammo as possible. Then you ignite the grease and leave them all bleeding and burning at sea.
