Then you’re going to love Somalia. No central government since 1991.

And pirates. Lots and lots of pirates.

I hate pirates.

In this, I am not alone:

The guided missile destroyer USS Winston S Churchill went in pursuit of a suspect vessel after receiving a report of piracy, the navy said.

When other efforts failed, the Churchill fired warning shots to bring the boat to a halt.

The Churchill shadowed the suspect vessel, and tried to make contact over the radio, before resorting on Saturday to “aggressive manoeuvring in an attempt to stop the vessel”.

When this failed, “Churchill fired warning shots. The vessel cut speed and went dead in the water,” the statements said.

Later an unspecified number of sailors were taken off the vessel and a quantity of small arms was recovered, the navy said.

Piracy, including hijackings and hostage-taking, has become common off anarchic Somalia, where there has been no effective central government since 1991.

Nice job, fellas. For, you know: Black shoes.
