"But aimed at a pirate vessel it does show that they have been seen at distances up to 2 kilometers (about 1.2 miles). Usually, that might drive them off, as a big part of a pirate attack is the element of surprise."

Because the only people greedier than the frackers building that crap are the guys sending cheapa$$ freighters around the world.
A halfway competently build saferoom would probably solve about 90% of these "piratings". ______________ Mal-¦Appears we got here just in a nick of time. What does that make us?¦ Zoe-`Big damn heroes, sir.` Mal-¦Aint we just.¦ |

Don¦t forget to install a giant a$$ lawyer next to that gun. Maybe he can talk the authorities out of arresting everybody and fining the shipping company at the next port. ______________ Mal-¦Appears we got here just in a nick of time.

What authorities? They're in international waters. If pirates attempt to board them, said pirates should be shot and tossed over as shark food. Those damned authorities. They would be ****ed at anyone who shoots pirates for attempting to hijack their vessel, ransom the crew for money, and then kill them anyway. Nothing about any of that would warrant arming ships to defend against pirates though. Perhaps said authorities would prefer that champaign, free blow and a few mid range hookers be issued to every successful pirate. We wouldn't want to risk harming or offending ****ing pirates.
So in this crazy land you're apparently living in, if pirates approached a Naval vessel and the Naval vessel obliterated their asses, might they too be facing a stern talking to once they'd docked in port?

We¦re talking merchant vessels here. Don¦t know on what planet YOU live, but this one has weapons forbidden on freighters.
And if such an armed freighter would eventually, you know, freight, it would have to enter a port and deal with port autoritah, which would ignore that cannon on the bow only in the rarest of places.
In my personal opinion they should simply hire some competent mercs with sniper rifles that could board in international waters and get off again once the dangerous waters are cleared. That would cost money though. ______________ Mal-¦Appears we got here just in a nick of time. What does that make us?¦ Zoe-`Big damn heroes, sir.` Mal-¦Aint we just.¦ |

they should at least be allowed self defense, preferable self defense that sees the pirates as shark food as said above
