I guess there are only a few solutions to this problem. The approach taken by the Americans "on the shores of Tripoli" in the 19th century. Invade and kill them all, isolate and starve them into submission, or solve the bloody problem in somalia once and for all which really involves the first approach. In the meantime perhaps escorted convoys might help solve the immediate problem. Arming civilian vessels dosent seem a workable solution but a number of Q ships may help put the fear of god into the pirates. I will be sure to include this couple in my prayers.
