English-speaking passengers on the Seabourn Spirit were full of praise for the cruise ship captain and her crew after last Saturday's pirate attack. The ship aimed a Long Range Acoustic Device that emitted ear-splitting bangs towards the pirate ships and combined this weapon with evasive maneuvers to out run the pirates.
