I wonder how many pirates with cannons and cutlasses it would take to commandeer something like an aircraft carrier. That would make for a fun movie. A whole fuckload of pirate ships come out of the triangle or something hokey and try and take it over.

It's an interesting thought. Assuming they started close enough to have a chance (can't scramble all the aircraft and blow them away 500 miles out), it'd be interesting to see.

How's that for a thread hijack?
