Capricorn Won

Pirates are essentially a private navy--if we can glorify the rust buckets they take to sea and the little outboard boats they use.

A tragedy was averted because a Dutch couple had their own private Marines when their yacht Capricorn was captured by pirates:

The head of a private security company says his guards retook a yacht from Somali pirates after the Dutch couple on board locked themselves in a safe room.

Good for them.
