2. Bring back the Q-boats. Armed ships masquerading as merchants. Can you just see it now?

   Some pirates find a lone merchant ship and launch skifs to go get it. Suddenly they lose communication with the mother ship or shore facilities. They are never heard from again, just a few bits of trash found floating on the sea.

   The Q-boat, of course, supresses EM to cut off the pirates’ comms. It sinks the skifs with its hidden guns, rescuing any survivors. A quick repaint, change of name and registration in case the pirates did get off a description of the ship, and a change of course. Viola, big mystery and a new “victim” for other pirates. The Brits, Germans, and Americans did this quite well during WWI and WWII.

   Ironicly, he was a pirate.
