PiracyBy: Anil Kumar | Friday , 21 Nov '08 21:41:07 PM Reply | Forward Noel Choon, Head of the International Maritime Bureau, seems to be stupid. He advocating that any ship or trawlers which has ladders to confiscate them. Instead, he should have said that that, those trawlers/ Boats should be sunk. Any suspicious moving Trawler should be checked for inspection and if any thing found linking with piracy, the boat should be confiscated or sunk.

Great decision by the Govt. of India. A fair percentage of international merchant navy crew are of Indian origin. They keep the world supply line open are contribute a lot to the world economy. I feel they are doing India proud and need the protection of the navy. Even if other countries are not doing much, Govt. of India must keep up this good job. My son is a marine engineer. The pirates have taken many merchant navy crew members as hostages and I feel the pain of the hostages and the pain their families have to faces. KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB INDIAN NAVY! KEEP UP THE BASHING!

'World Navies should follow Indian Navy's example'By: Paras Deo | Friday , 21 Nov '08 18:15:10 PM Reply | Forward I have difficulty in understanding the fact that the so called first world countries are present by a dozen the Horn of Africa with "first world" military resources but they are impotent in taking action against the Somali pirates.. The Germans are â€œdiscussingâ€ whether police officers (!?!) should be on board their Naval ships to arrest the pirates. According to the reports, it seems their military can" escort" the trade ships and â€œobserveâ€ the pirates but they are not allowed to be pro-active against these pirates. So why are they patrolling these waters?? Just to show off?? So much for the â€œFirst Worldâ€ The Indian Navy has gone the right way to have a bash at the pirates. According to recent reports the Somali authorities are allowing the Indian Armed Forces to enter Somali waters to chase these pirates. Also, I read the INS Mysore, a very potent Delhi class frigate will relieve INS Tabar. of India. A fair percentage of international merchant navy crew are Indians.

If a few of these pirate CRIMINALS boats are blown out of the water I don't think they will dare to seize these ships!! GOOD SHOOTING INDIAN NAVY!! I'm proud to be Indian!!
