Re: Somali Pirates: What to do?
Indeed, the Chinese Navy has been doing that for the last two years now as an example. They run convoys with two military ships to a group of maybe 12 or more merchant ships that transit through known pirate areas.
Don't believe so but many commercial shipping firms oppose making their crews take arms, liability I presume. And they don't want to pony up the cost to have armed guards riding on each vessel sailing. I can only presume private yachts doing this would be even far costlier.
