There was an Italian cruise line that hired Israeli guards and in 2009 that fought off pirates.
I am all for taking the fight there with a zero tolerance rule. If combat happens use over whelming force, until they get the picture.
The pirates for the most part are teens and early 20s they make a fortune of money, and are treated like royalty. If we remove that incentive by using guards and force then it will be harder for them to recruit.
