While sailing the seas people know there are pirates lurking. It should be internationally legal for an owner of a boat or a corporation to be able to arm their boats with heavy artillery, or mid sized fire arms, a couple of 60s maybe a 50 cal. If you have to transport crew and merchandise, a boat should be able to be armed with weapons and not have to rely on different countries in the open sea to come to aid when ever placed in a drastic or dire situation.
I read an article which described a boat transporting steel, was hijacked by a small skiff with several pirates and a solo pirate boarded the steel boat while other pirates waited aboard their own vessel. A Danish tactical team responded but the result was they didn't find any pirates the crew was endangered and locked in the hull their ship for someone to rescue them. I say if someone attacks my vessel to steal my cargo, I have to right to destroy their boat and take prisoners if possible.
