Damn, these folks have some iron cojones! I mean, to even think that you could seize a vessel that dwarfs an aircraft carrier - that takes balls, man!

My prediction: Soon shipping vessels themselves will either have armed naval escorts (probably provided by private security firms a la Blackwater) in the region, or they will carry heavy weaponry themselves. Who else is going to stop the pirates and protect the ships if not the shipping companies themselves?
