Indian Navy sinking of Pirate 'Mother Ship' was actually a 'Thai Trawler'

[Flintlock]

See Zombie and Flintlock,

I can't blame you guys for being so naive. You patriotism overshadows ur knowledge of the sea.

If the Capt. and the interpretor was on the bridge than the naval ship would have easily contacted the trawler on channel 16 ?

So Somali illiterate pirates could speak good English enough to threaten the IN navy ? We will blow up your ship they said ? ha ha

Please note all neutral articles state that the Pirates never mis behave with the hostages and hence they would have allowed the Captain to speak to tabar.

You still have not told me why the IN did not contact the IMB on the Satcomm ?

Regards

The only thing I see here is cynicism and sarcasm, based on the assumption that the IN is fabricating stories.

So lets just leave it at that, because you are obviously enjoying the fun here.

As for your remaining questions, I'm willing to wait for the answer from Indian Navy.

 

[Flintlock]

so who's fault is it ? INDIAN NAVY OFFCOURSE.

Regards

I'm sure the IN will vindicate itself in the coming days - I'm eagerly waiting for your head on a plate AN (figuratively of course) - it will give me immense pleasure.

No as a Seafarer who has served on both sides I feel very sad for the 15 men and their family who were murdered by a clod.

Murdered ? if only IN knew that it had sailors on board but the question is why will some one Hijack a fishing trawler that to with fishing equipment ?? on board ? Pirate wont make millions selling Fishing equipments nor they have any precious cargo on board ,they were taking it in to Somali waters only means they had intended to use that boat as a mother ship ,why did thai waited for a week to tell that it was their vessel ?

Excuse me Mr. Zeus,

Before you spout any wisdom please read what the owner of the vessel said after speaking to Cambodian survivor ?

Also please explain the following which Indian Patriots are avoiding

1. Why did the navy not contact IMB before attacking the ship ?

2. Why did they not carry out a search and rescue mission after sinking the ship ? They would have found the cambodian survivor ?

I have one question. why did pirates hijacked a fishing trawler from which huge rensom could not come? I mean when there are lot of merchant ships around by capturing them they could earn much better money?

Just a query

AN sorry i hadn't seen that portion so if the pirates were having the crew on board why haven't they used them as human shield so that IN could not have fired upon them?

Because every naval ship in that area knew there were hostages onboard except the IN and that clod of a captain of Tabar did not bother to check with IMB.

Wow that's gr8, this is something interesting as they have not shown the original crew but IN does asked them for identification which they could have done and not done by them hence an incident happened correct?

Who has to show more responsibility a well trained navy or a rag tag bunch of pirates ? You are still avoiding the fact that the IN did not call the IMB.

'INS Tabar had every right to defend itself from firing'

KUALA LUMPUR: The Indian naval warship in the Gulf of Aden had every right to retaliate when pirates on board a Thai fishing boat opened fire,

the international maritime bureau said on Wednesday, terming it "unfortunate" that INS Tabar was not hooked to its communication network.

"The hijacked Thai fishing vessel was (of) the same size and had all the hallmarks of a 'mother ship' used by pirates in the African waters with heavily armed pirates on board when the Indian Navy tried to intercept the vessel and was attacked," IMB's Piracy Reporting Centre chief Noel Choong said, hours after confirming that the warship had hit a Thai trawler.

INS Tabar last week destroyed a vessel off the Somali coast suspecting it to be a pirate mother ship. But a Thai company has said it was a fishing boat owned by it and hijacked by the pirates.

A Thai crew member died in the attack while a Cambodian sailor is in a hospital in Yemen. Fourteen people are missing.

Indian Navy maintained that INS Tabar had acted against a "pirate" vessel on the high seas and was "convinced" about it.

The IMB received a report about the mistake by the Indian Navy from the Thai trawler's owner Bangkok-based Sirichai Fisheries, Choong said. Sirichai found out about the mishap after speaking to the injured Cambodian sailor, he said.

Choong said INS Tabar was independently deployed by the Indian government and was not a part of the coalition navies present in the African waters. IMB's communication about the hijacked Thai vessel with pictures and details, sent to all coalition navies, would not have been received by it, he said.

"The Indian Navy is not linked to the International Maritime Bureau's communication network. It is only fair to say that the Indian Navy attacked the vessel as it had every right to defend itself," Choong observed.

Apparently the IMB given the info only to coalition navy not to IN? Are they were not aware that IN is patrolling there

Indian navy sank Thai trawler, not pirate ship, owner says - International Herald Tribune

The bureau broadcast the news of the hijacking to various ports, other ships in the area and the coalition of navies that helps maintain a maritime security corridor in the gulf.

"We got the report and sent out the information," said Noel Choong, head of the piracy reporting center. "The Thai company did the correct thing."

A British Navy ship then approached the Ekawat Nava 5, but the pirates "brought out our crew and used them as human shields," Wicharn said.

So RN had backed away and not reported it also. These news are coming out now. Why RN not reported this? And when they have shown the crew to RN why not to IN?

Dear GP,

Please don't swallow this hook line and sinker. IMB can be contacted by satphone by any ship. The Indian captain is a dope. Please don't tell me how naval vessels work as I have been on them since the day I could drink a rum at 16
