I was on a boat sailing from Papua to Singapore. We had to do 'pirate' drills. The ship had large water cannons and practiced evasive manouvers etc

How cool would it be if the rules of combat were you weren't allowed to engage pirates with guns, only cutlaces and traditional dress.

Were you not shown how to load the Cannons? 
When I heard pirates had hijacked a boat I couldn't help but think Jolly Roger.
