Don, Army would have kicked butt, if they could swim!

Rusty old freighter vs Guided Missle Cruiser.

 

This is what's known as a "Bambi vs. Godzilla" encounter.

 

Good for the Navy! Those Indian Ocean cruises can get boring.:D

OK! Am I missing something? Were these pirates stupid or what? Opening fire on a destroyer???? They deserved what they got!!

[jessemon]

OK...Just a thought. Maybe they were'nt pirates...maybe smugglers...AND SMOKING WHAT THEY WERE SMUGGLING....:D

I just love this...sticks and stones will break my bones...but the "US" Navy will sink your happy butt.:p

A salute to our sailors! A job well done!

 

Having toured a LHA cruiser, you'd have to be touched in the head to consider attacking with a leaky rowboat. This is one instance where size really does matter.:D

[Bob & Sandy]

They kicked our butts, matey! Maybe we should've used cutlasses ... :D

[Danno]

I guess there is not an IQ test to become a pirate.

They kicked our butts, matey! Maybe we should've used cutlasses ... :D

Maybe they should have tried a HOCKEY STICK....:p

Go Lightning.....
