You mean the most powerful navies in the world have VBSS teams with dozens of support vessels right nearby. Seems like a bad idea. Maybe we’ll get a movie about it.

It’s 2026 and we’re still letting oil tankers get captured by a handful of drugged-up low-IQ ‘pirates’ in a dinghy. With how much money there is in oil, just post a proper armed security detachment on the ships going through that area ffs. Even just a couple of guys with guns has a massive advantage from a vantage point high up on an oil tanker

Eventually some FPVs stationed on the deck will be able to do the work of several men with guns. Security budgets will only require one trained person.

Flat-Emergency4891 22 hr ago +11

That’s a big deal. If hardly any ships are passing the Straight of Hormuz, and ships start getting stolen or fired upon in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden or the Bab El Mandeb straight, it’s good bye to the world economy and Hello global famine and economic depression. We’re on the brink of a major escalation.

If I were to be a pirate, I would fully embrace the role. I’m talking an eye patch, a prosthetic hook for a hand, and a parrot on my shoulder. I would be nice to my captives and I think they would find it amusing to be captured by a true-to-life, Pirates of the Caribbean-looking pirate in 2026.

That image comes from Long John Silver (Adventure Island) who was based on the real life Edward Teach aka Blackbeard. Read up about the real guy, he was a total badass

"hijacking on the high seas or in similar contexts; taking a ship or plane away from the control of those who are legally entitled to it." So USA & Iran, for example.

If the crew of the oil tanker killed the pirates and just kicked the bodies overboard, where is the loss and who would ever know/care? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Humans have become weak, domesticated creatures of the rich...

1

Sulimonstrum 9 hr ago +1

> Humans have become weak, domesticated creatures of the rich... As opposed to rising up against an armed invader in defense of the property of the rich? Nobody on an oil tanker is making bank, it's generally ~20 Filipino dudes and 1 western-ish captain that just want to get paid at the end of the day. The crew just waiting until the company pays up is generally the smarter move. But you do you, go sign up at your local merchant marine and live your 17th century age of sail dreams or whatever.
