Purchase some old WWII 40mm. Bofors repeating anti-craft cannons, or 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns, and some 50-caliber machine guns. 2. In the shipyard, have a welder put in place steel gun tubs on the bow and stern for the 40mm. 3. Install weapons. See WWII Liberty ships regarding this procedure. 4. Conduct dry-run and underway instruction and practice only for crew members who have been designated as "gun crew." 5. When a pirate approaches, announce over a ship-to-ship loudspeaker that you are aware of his intentions, and order him to stand off or be sunk! If he doesn't understand English, put a shot across his bow. (A 40mm. round sends up a geyser 20-feet high.) Under no circomstances let anyone board your ship with threats. This is utter nonsense! .
