Pirates seized a cargo ship loaded with weapons off the coast of Kenya

The vessel Faina, flying a Belize flag, was headed to the Kenyan port of Mombasa after departing from Nikolayev, Ukraine, according to Lt. Col. Konstantin Sadilov, spokesman for the defense ministry.

He said it was seized by pirates on Thursday not far from its destination.

According to the defense ministry, the ship was carrying 33 Soviet-made T-72 tanks, tank artillery shells, grenade launchers and small arms.

The tanks themselves may not be much use at sea, but the turrents would be very handy mounted on a pirate ship along with the grenade launchers and stuff. With that kind of arsenal you could clean out a cruise ship.
