A slight error

Somali pirates attack a defenceless merchant ship only to discover that it was HNLMS Tromp.

And didn't they end up feeling silly.

    I particularly like the name of the ship, the "Tromp". I hope her sister vessels, the "Stomp" and the "Buttkick" are patrolling nearby as well.

    Saw the story yesterday. A coworker suggested that the pirates had been sampling certain Dutch smokables, and found these to be stronger than the ones they were used to.

    No word about what happened to the pirates, by the way. I'm guessing it was catch and release?

    Does Somalia have a branch of Specsavers?
