Let's go be privateers off the coast of China
- Thread starter TheGerman
- Start date
You'll be wanting some rattle cans of color shift paint from O'Reillys.
Right. And then change the Hula girl on the dash out for something else every now and then.
Meh, my cutter played "privateer" with the cartels in the early nineties closer to Columbia than Florida and it's overrated.
I’m missing something; is it ‘Pirates’ or ‘Privateers’? The words appear to be used interchangeably. If we’re not careful, we’ll sail right into ‘Privates of the Chinese Carribean - Hillary’s Junk Sails Again!’
Briny Deep indeed!

China's Fake South China Sea Islands Could Become More Trouble Than They're Worth
China built them and now must defend them.

Why do you think they started this whole COVID thing? Trump was hurting them in the pocketbook.
This may have been hit in this thread before this, but does anyone think China would follow maritime law and NOT arm their merchant vessels? I suspect they would have regular troops on vessels, armed to the teeth in very short order. Would be a curious cat and mouse game for sure. The first few crews to get captured YouTube video executions would be epic. ISIS would be like WTF, these guys are messed up...
Interesting concept. Getting the commies in congress to sign off on it would be harder than the work downrange.

Hi,
The Congress Commies signed off on Erik Prince founding the largest PMC training center in the world in China...so maybe..lol.
And he now runs the entire EDGE conglomeration in UAE so good luck going up against China in maritime environment without the USN.

I'm kind thinking of going small and keeping costs down. Retro you know?
One problem with all this: if you capture a ship and bring it in as a prize, Nobody wants Nikes anymore.
If you sink it, all those Nikes float.
A container ship full of 70 Inch TV's? Well, maybe.
A steady stream of Chinese stock for Harbor Freight and Walmart? New Reef.
Refusal to allow them to dock would be a good first step.
Stop all passage at the Panama Canal (which is pretty much occupied by the Chinese anyway).
No landings at Seattle, Portland or Long Beach, (wait. Didn't we give control of Long Beach to the Chinese?).

Only way that this can realistically happen is if we get a nuclear attack sub and a good crew. And build a secret base that we can supply inside of some protected waters.
Tangent alert: This article makes some very good points on the Spratly Islands and others but did not mention the geology of the islands. All of China’s island military installations are built on dredged sand. Those of you that are old enough to remember the San Francisco quake of 1989 the Fisherman’s Wharf area shook like jello because the whole area was filled in and filled in with rock and more solid shit than the sand used in the Spratlys. The CIA does employ geologists to analyze underlying formations of potential targets. If shit goes kinetic with the PRC I can almost guarantee that the Air Force or Navy will drop some ordnance designed to maximize a sub surface shockwave and cause liquefaction. It was probably hard AF to build airfields on sand, it will be harder to rebuild after a big strike.China's Fake South China Sea Islands Could Become More Trouble Than They're Worth

What I hear you saying is that the MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) would be renamed ID's (Island Dissolver's)
MOAB generates an airborne pressure wave great for killing humans and flattening houses above grade, think bunker buster set to go off 20-30 feet below ground with a low frequency explosive similar to ANFO. If we want to capture an airfield intact and kill all the humans in the area and don't care about the structures the MOAB would be a good option but the MOAB has to be dropped out of the back of a cargo plane that would get shot down before it got close to the target, this ain't Asscrackistan.
The MOAB is too long and too wide to fit in the bomb bay of a B-1, B-2 or B-52, bunker busters OTOH.
I have had half shlft of buff keepers sleep in my house and eat my BBQ on a regular basis , so don't think most can give me much new insite, some still active.
My wife has some eye shadow and can put it on me if I head out.
The beard and hair beads make the ensemble in my opinion.

Asscrackistan, fucking love that.
I've heard a few good ones but that just about says it all??

MOAB’s?...meh..
Grandpappy got it right on the Marshall Islands 70 years ago. Well, minus a few islands afterward.
Talk about the ultimate day at the target range!

But we’d have to melt down all those Ballestar Molinas!I mean, thats what the US Naval Institute seems to think...
Unleash the Privateers!
The threat of privateers to China’s maritime economy could strengthen deterrence and possibly prevent a war.www.usni.org
So my only real question is, who can build a new copy of the Graf Spee? Or are we up for some sneaky Pinguin action?
An Official Journal Of The NRA | Investigation of a Legend: The Graf Spee and the Ballester-Molina
The Argentine-made Ballester-Molina pistol, which borrows from both the M1911 and the Star Model B, has an intriguing possible tie to the Graf Spee and Britain’s clandestine MI6. Was a Nazi pocket battleship’s armor really used to make guns for the British during World War II?
Cheers, Sirhr
@THEIS you have all this stuff, but you never seem to deliver on my Illudium Q36 explosive space modulator. Is it still on back order? That and the Battleship NJ is all we need to be successful against the Chinese. Shiver me timbers any estimated delivery date yet?
I'm pretty sure this is the week I'll finally win the Powerball. I'll take one of them Romeo class subs. Can you outfit it with a Lowrance sideview fish finder?
I'll take it...
Oh, shit. I thought this was the "bitch about the PX" thread...
But stil, are we gonna be pirates or not??

I’ve read all your posts on this subject and follow your logic and reasoning. I only have one question for you.
Are you in, or out?
Now before you answer just think how much fun it would be on the high seas with @1J04 at the stem of the ship in his thong doing his best mermaid impression! Guaranteed no one in their right minds would even think about messing with us!
I’ll drop this right here for now and consider training as commenced...

I think it's pretty clear what my path on this adventure would be.
Besides if I missed seeing all the action, I could just rent a drone from Theis and simply watch all the festivities and doom from around the globe.
Perhaps even get advertising revenue off the live video stream feeds to help defray the cost of drone rental & satellite data links.
I think 1J should re-enact his avatar livestreamed from the poop deck each morning. China would quiver in fear at our physical dexterity and stand down.
