French validate Plan Salamander


I know it is complicated and all, but two things.

1. Somali pirates are not the Red Banner Fleet.

2. When someone shoots at you with a 7.62mm - let them know that at least they might have 40mm coming back at them.
"Once they realised they were facing a ship that was responding and was heading towards them, they stopped shooting and attempted to flee," he said.

"The Somme gave chase and intercepted one of the pirates' boats. All the weapons had apparently been tossed into the sea and the suspected pirates are now being held on board the Somme."
Merchant ships can do the same thing, you know.
