Why is the crew of any vessel sailing in those waters unarmed? I'm sure there's a very obvious answer, but I'm missing it. And how do the pirates climb aboard, unless a crewman conveniently lowers a gangplank? Huge ships....multiple points where a grappling hook could be attached one way or another, no doubt...send up a few men armed with AK's...civilian crew then either gets into a gunfight where they are outgunned and unprepared or they go along and let the ship owner pay up....pirates then lower the gangplank for their comrades to come aboard..... It would be cheaper for the ship owners to put a few mercenaries on each ship and place a few surface to surface weapons around the deck so that small boats could be blasted from a distance.
