| #9 Interesting - thats not some native dhow, it looks like a steel-built trawler of some size. Yes, it was. (Apologies to Inspector Clouseau). |

| #5 I don't care how big it is, it ain't a real warship, and it's not going to outrun or outgun one. |

| #4 buwaya, the way I understand it they start with Dhows and upgrade, then upgrade again when they catch a bigger boat. The mothership was probably one that was big enough but not valuable enough to ransom. |

| #2 Interesting - thats not some native dhow, it looks like a steel-built trawler of some size. One reason these pirates may not be so easy to catch is that it may be difficult to distinguish the motherships from the rest of the shipping. |
