Gunboat Diplomacy

All of these stories about boats being hijacked by pirates got me thinking. The simplest solution to dealing with Somalian pirates is a very old one. Trojan Horse them. Fill two or three ships up with soldiers or mercenaries, hide these guys in the cargo holds. Then sail around that area of sea for awhile. If or when the boat gets jacked the pirates are in for a nasty, well-armed and very dangerous, surprise. Sounds like an easy way to cut down on the problem.
