    Idiots. The navy should have sunk the boat with the pirates aboard.

    Good for them. They will probably be fed and sleep well for the first time in their lives. Just a shame that they are not feeding the fish

    Our company built the Nicholas, and about twenty five more like her. They are coming to the end of their life spans, but are still performing very well. It was one of the best shipbuilding programs that the Navy ever had, with the ships well ahead of schedule, and below budget to the extent that the company returned money to the Navy.
