ENDING OF PIRATE SHIP HIJACKINGS BY PLANNING CONVOYS!

Every year about 30,000 ships , about 100 per day sail the waters off Somalia.

That works out to about 50 ships a day in each direction.

With a little planning, these ships can basically assemble into a small group of ships every day or two and be easily escorted by the various naval vessels now on site there.

HAVE NONE OF THESE VARIOUS WORLD CLASS NAVY ADMIRALS LOOKED BACK INTO THEIR NAVAL HISTORY BOOKS FOR THE ANSWER?

Pirates and terrorists who lurk on these shipping lanes simply wait on any portion of these shipping lanes, and wait for the ships to come to them.

The escort ships could very easily escort a convoy of 20-30 ships each, and if threatened, they could easily destroy any pirates; especially pirates in a little canoe/motorboat 100-200 miles off shore.

The modern navy now has helicopters and can run a perimeter around the ships with another ship and totally provide the needed security.

This is the same naval tactic which defeated the U-boats in World War II.

The pirates are nowhere close to being as dangerous to the ships as the U-boats, and would easily be repelled.

No more ransoms, no more hostages, and a safe passage for all. In fact, there could be a payment per ship, that would probably be less than the present insurance rates for that risky transit.

Come on, how many people in the Pentagon worked on this pirate project?

Anybody there, listening, watching, thinking?

Furthermore, this process could give the navy's of the world who are there now some needed target practice.
