Somali piracy has been back in the headlines with reports of a seized oil tanker. That batch of Somali pirates was pretty smart. Others have managed to be very dumb. How dumb were they? Well, some pirates tried to hijack a pair of U.S. Navy warships.

SP5 Mark Kuzinski I think they are still in Jail in Virginia, Talk about a Horrible Oops. Not recommended to Shoot at a Navy Amphib Ship full of Pissed Off Marines and Sailors. I know the Gunners Mates on Arkansas and California loved every opportunity to use their Tools of the Trade.
