Whoops: turns out the Indian Navy didn’t sink a Pirate Ship last week, they sunk a hijacked vessel instead

    Can the author wonder what a "Thai fishing trawler" doing in Bay of Eden way away from it's area of operation?
    Add to this what was there no Thai employees on board?
    Just shows that it was on a illegal fishing round and got hijacked by the pirates.
    The owner is blowing the trumpet because the insurance will not pay him for illegal fishing.

    OOps the brilliant media. How do you come to the conclusion that the Pirates do purchase ships for their piracy activities. Do you think that it's a legal business in which they make initial investment?

    Error. Just because it was a Thai fishing trawler at some point of time never means when the IN fired it's still a fishing trawler. At the time it was indeed a Pirate mothership. Use words wisely.

    Generally a mother ship is the ship that tends the others in the fleet "as mother". Surely you SciFi geeks should know that it's the big one. Generally in shipping we talk of "the flag ship" anyway. That being the best ship in the fleet with the highest ranking officer on board. As these terms also do not count when there is one ship I fail to see how any such terms apply. But if a fishing boat was "mother" that makes all the others pathetically small.

    it was later confirmed it was a pirate vessel...the claim by by the owner just to recover insurance benefits...it was just a coincidence that this sailor was found and he was urged by the owner to say this s they can recover the loss...if the pirates had seized there boat then the will only loose money...this is a conspiracy by these people...they thought they can paly with the Indians...thats not true...
