An Indian navy warship has destroyed a suspected Somali pirate vessel after it came under attack in the Gulf of Aden.

The INS Tabar sank the pirate "mother ship" after it failed to stop for investigation and opened fire instead, an Indian navy statement said.

There must be thousands of pirates out there.

You lot have obviously got the wrong idea of this day an age pirates -.- When I went for a cruise 5 years ago, the ship went under attack by pirates and we had to wait 11 days on some island for rescuing, it was OK though because the people there were awsome!

For a start thats a lie, but in response to it anyways

Obviously they're going to be nice and such as if they harmed any of them they wouldn't get the ransom they asked for and would instead probably have navy and such attacking them.

Most pirates have never had to use guns etc to actually shoot people or harm people an dmost the time the company pays the ransom to get their cargo and crew back.

We dont pay ransoms. So either they wouldnt. Oh and it would probs be SAS/SBS.

And yer most of the priates have. if there from somalia they usual fight aleast once a week. A dispute is settled by shooting them.


Where were you when this happend btw?

Do you know who paid the ransom?

[scottish]

Well thats the first place u should look isnt it, to see if it was the goverment or not

[scottish]

I didn't say specifically the government paid? I said the pirates got paid 2m ransom, you assumed it was the government ;)

yer i did, as you spoke about the navy but in your next statement didnt say any other people.

[scottish]

I said navy could be pulled in as if the pirates hijacked a ship and randomly killed 12 people every day i doubt the government would sit and do nothing losing millions from their economy from losing oil. I never mentioned govt i mentioned navy.

Yer but now when ur renforcing your point you mention the goverment, so you obviosuly hinted towards them.

Oh and yer i know but there ran by the goverment.

just admit that you did mean the goverment

[scottish]

No i didn't, quote the point where i said government.

I didn't mean govt, you just assumed i did, i didn't state who paid or even hinted on who paid the ransom, i simply said if it got bad then obviously navy or whoever would become involved, i didn't say navy paid, you assumed i meant government, you were wrong.

that ok

[scottish]

That was after the fact you mentioned that i had said govt when i had.

[Corporal]

That was after the fact you mentioned that i had said govt when i had.
yer i know.
I said you mentioned them when u were renforcing your previous point. So you obv ment the goverment

[scottish]

No i didn't. I didnt say anything to do with who paid them, i said the govt will get involved IF THEY KILLED PEOPLE AND STOLE THE CARGO, not that they paid them. Read before you attempt to argue with me :)

Id listen, as he clearly says chemical tankers.

[scottish]

Its a ship seized by pirates who got paid a ransom.

[Corporal]

But you said oil tanker not ship

[scottish]

Your arguement was that people do not pay ransoms for the seized pirate ships, you didn't state which :)

You guessed i ment any, when i ment the that you mentioned in my quote.

[scottish]

Also i didn't say they paid ransom for oil tankers?

I said oil as an example of the govt losing millions from their economy, i didn't state it was an oil tanker that got paid for a start :)

You so did not say that as a example.

[scottish]

I put it in brackets as i wasn't sure ;)

Other wise i would have Said the recent oil tanker that got hijacked, not recent ship :)
