I was thinking someone should buy up derelict yachts and small submarines; clean up the yachts on the outside and rig them with explosives to make something along the lines of giant seagoing claymore mines. Sail them out to the right area and evac to the submarine. Detonate when the pirates are alongside.
Why man them at all?Remote control via sat phone. Load them to the gills with fuel and some explosives. Maybe a blow-up doll or four we "borrow" from JamisJockey.
Why man them at all?
Where's the fun in that?
Because it involves BLOWING STUFF UP!!!!!!!
Just in case; one or two man subs outfitted to ram small craft below the waterline were pretty much the origin of submarine warfare, and they can still be very effective against unarmored boats.
Yeah, but with the Q ships you get to see their reaction at suddenly realizing they are staring half a dozen five inch guns in the muzzle... I'd pay to see that Hell, grab the rights, finance the expedition and then put it up on pay-per-view...
