This is how we handle the pirates

I had a friend in '91 whose name was Kourosh he was in the Iranian Merchant Marine in the eighties & remembers when American warships patrolled the Persian Gulf.
He told me one time when an American Destroyer called out for a small, Iranian gunship to stop & prepare to be boarded, they responded by calling them, "Yankee Imperial pigdogs!
I am cleaning up the language a bit here.
They refused and were told they would be shot at & fired a machine gun burst across thier bow.
They still would not stop & called them "American stinkers" & the American Destroyer fired a burst & took out thier engine so they were dead in the water.

They started yelling, "We surrender, don't shoot!"

Kourosh jumped ship when the Merchant ship he was on made a call in Vancouver & asked for asylum.
