Private Navy Forming in Pirate Waters

[Sniffit]

No, they mean the Hugin class fast patrol boats, or Kaparen class as they were known in the last ASW variant. I believe there are still some lying at Karlskrona.

The prototype boat for the class is even still in commission as a surveillance boat.

The patrolboats lack about 50 feet if the newspaper was correct.

Non state actors, armed vessels, say they mistake a civilian vessel for a pirate ship and that vessel sends an SOS, does EU-NAVFOR respond?

My thoughts exactly. This is going to complicate the job of the various navies already assigned with the task of protecting shipping over there.
