Yes, it is possible to get under the gun. However, it should not be possible to sneak up on a "survalience ship". Even so, there are other options that even the French could have taken the did not involve a helicopter. I like lowering the ladder and inviting them on board. The crew could even yell "Surprise!".




It's obvious that the helicopter intervened because it was already airborne on patrol. They have additional hard points around the ship for 50 cal type machine guns for close in work. They also have two 20mm guns amidships. Lot's of ways of fucking pirates up. I'm pissed the international community doesn't get tough with these guys. Fuck up a few instead of interrogating and letting them go. Blow up the mother ship, sink the small boats and let them swim home. Do that four or five times and the number of attempted seizures goes to zero
