Somali pirates with "illegal" narcotics

No flux capacitor on a nuclear ship...

it's a russian ship. last i checked you're not in the russian navy.

[Holden]

shouldn't the Ruskies just have sunk their ships and be done with it? 

Treaty or no treaty, I wonder how much of that actually does happen that we of course aren't going to hear anything about...

[Drunken Monkey]

Id just dump the drugs, hold onto the weapons and spread the wealth across the ship, then turn into a priate. the ships nuclear powered anyway, not like you need diesel or anything!

Dude. You're talking about the Russian Navy. With a long and glorious history.

So stop giving them ideas!

Plutonium as nuclear fuel, flux capacitors, excess nitrogen . . . as a submariner,nuclear operator and diver, i don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Correct, HOWEVER, most nuclear reactors run off of the same fuel, Uranium 235. We use a much more highly enriched fuel than most, allowing us to go longer before refueling, usually at least 20 years...

I heard some good piracy stories from a friend of mine who is a naval engineer and spends a lot of time reading about the illegal bounties of the high seas. He showed me an article about a gang of pirates who tried to take a Russian flag vessel in the straits of Malacca which is more heavily pirated than the somali coast. The Russians fought back with their own arms and killed all the pirates. According to the tale, pirates in the Malacca Strait have never tried to take another Russian ship since that incident.

Someone needs to flex their muscles a little bit and push them around. If shipping companies/insurance companies keep paying ransoms its just going to be business as usual.

I've been on a Russian ship. It was quite an interesting time. And, I can neither confirm or deny the existence of a Flux Capacitor.
