First sentence: "It’s perfectly understandable why commercial shipping vessels are prohibited from carrying arms in international waters."

No it's not. It's perfectly stupid. Why huge ships should be vulnerable to idiots in small boats is beyond me. One man with a sniper rifle should easily stop any boarding attempt.
