Interesting learning from an interview in Fortune magazine with the CEO of the Danish Maersk shipping company. He was quoted as saying some of their newer container ships have the ability to flood the ship's deck to ward off attacking pirates. I didn't know such a thing was possible but here in Kansas City, we don't see many oceangoing freighters. Come to think of it, we don't see very many pirates around here, either.
