Piracy could revive ocean convoys
Why not convoys?
From the Strait of Hormuz, around the Horn of Africa... enlist NATO navies to help.
Yeah - it would take some coordination, but I'd guess small ships - destroyers & frigates - would suffice.
One at the front, one at the back of a line of tankers.
Heck, this could pay for itself! - charge the shipping companies for the escort! (There seems to be quite a bit of $$$ in oil!)
Objections?

I read on Tom Dispatch that 23,000 ships passed through the Gulf of Aden last year, and only 93 were captured by pirates. Might the world get better results by giving the Somali fishermen back their coastline and source of livelihood?
