Oct 25, 2012 3:49 PM GMTWow! If the article's assumptions are correct, that's great news. Besides counterattacking the pirates, what alternatives to piracy are we trying to introduce or enhance? -

Oct 25, 2012 3:55 PM GMTCome on a destroyer sunk that,that's just tooo funny -
Oct 25, 2012 5:14 PM GMTArticle got the Dutch ship acronym wrong. Should be HNLMS not HNMLS.
Anyway said "destroyer"... which is really an amphibious transport. I guess to journalists any ship that doesn't carry jet fighters is a "destroyer"

From what I see, only the poster above you used "destroyer" as vessel classification. The article simply says (four times) "warship."

Landing Platform Dock (LPD) amphibious warfare ship HNMLS Rotterdam IMO IMO 9109756, displacement 12750 tons, built 1997.
Though in all fairness, even if your complaint was correct, destroyer configurations are not quite as recognizable as they once were...

I'm all for blowing ALL pirate ships out of the water, killing all on board.
Why risk the lives of innocent people by trying to board and inspect pirate ships ?
