http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...section=justin To answer your question, read this !!! That beats any response here in repelling a pirate attack (cannot operate a "complex" boat...)  - - - YET ??? Pirates attack, abandon Turkish ship
Pirates boarded a Turkish freighter in the Indian Ocean but abandoned the vessel after not being able to locate its crew who had hidden in a secret place, authorities said in a news report. Pirates attacked the 'August 26' on Saturday, 150 nautical miles (about 270 kilometres) north-east of the Yemeni island of Socotra as it was leaving the Gulf of Aden, the Anatolia news agency reported, citing a government statement.
"As the ship's personnel had hidden themselves in a secret and safe place, the pirates left the boat," said the statement from the maritime authority's rescue cell. "This morning (Sunday), a NATO patrol ship reached the aforementioned ship and started communicating with it. It was established that the boat was secure and its crew in good health," it added.
NATO is conducting an anti-piracy operation in the area, where Somali pirates are active. Pirates are holding about 30 ships and more than 500 sailors, according to the Ecoterra International group which tracks piracy in the region.
