Oops! Somali Pirates Attacked French Navy Ship - Neatorama

Bad idea: being a Somali pirate and attacking ...
Really bad idea: ... in the middle of the night ...
Neatorama-worthy: a ship that turns out to be a French navy ship!

Admiral Prazuck told French TV station La Chaine Info the pirates seemed to be surprised that the navy ship fought back.
"Once they realised they were facing a ship that was responding and was heading towards them, they stopped shooting and attempted to flee," he said.

Isn't that about the same as attacking a Greenpeace ship?

I read this as "Salami Pirates Attacked French Navy Ship".

Damn salami pirates. No respect for maritime law at all I tells ya.

Life imitates South Park... except on South Park, I think the French ship surrendered. (let's be fair, I think it was because Butters had a lightsabre)

not as cool as the snipers that parachuted onto the boat a few months ago and took out the pirates, but still pretty cool!

Shame the Navy Ship didn't tow them out to sea and sink the pirate's boat with them on it.

This isn't the first navy vessel to be accidentally attacked. I wonder how long it will take before the pirates realize that merchant ships are never painted "haze gray."

Now that's one of those Nelson from the Simpsons' "Ha-ha!" moments.

Because it was flying a French flag.

Damn those Africans. How dare they be pirates. They should be out fishing for the wee fishies the illegal factory trawlers leave behind or maybe they could pull up the barrels of industrial waste dropped in their waters and sell them to the Iranians.

Would have been funnier if it was a ship full of cross-dressing cage-fighters.

I am surprised that they didn't call the US Navy to bail them out.
