Message: [QUOTE="Michael H. Standart, post: 313079, member: 79064"] Thanks Yuri, this one I bookmarked. Some interesting points I saw at a glance;The problem of piracy for one. I've seen the odd write up on this in U. S. Naval Institute Proceedings, but for all of it's savagry, it gets virtually no press except in maritime circles. Another hotspot for piracy is the Phillipine Archipeligo. The Straits of Malacca and the coast of Brazil I already know about. These guys typically operate out of small boats, they are very well armed, and it doesn't mean anything to them to kill somebody. Ships to avoid traveling on: stay away from ships carrying livestock...uh...unless you like the smell of a stockyard. Cordially, Michael H. Standart [/QUOTE]
