I think it would be a very foolish move to try to board at the bow. In fact I think that you will find that illegal boarders usually come aboard on the lee quarter as that is where they can manoeuvre their boat without too much problems from the wake, weather or bow wave, or getting sucked under the counter.The point is that the gun on the stern isn't going to have the field of fire to reach the bow.
Actually at the left and right ends of the superstructure, the blind spot issue would be minimal. It gives you options in being able to engage port, starboard and aft with minimal movement from the security team. Also, it provides better visibility since it is higher up.
my goverment is going to put 8 Para-commandos on each ship that request it. They are higly trained men, maybe this is a sollution for many countries? or maybe it will just flare things up, dont know
I just hope that they will be given better ROEs than they were in Rwanda. The UN gave them up to die for nothing.
I heard about the struggle that lasted for hours at the rebel base. The paracommando lieutenant apparently was able to hide his pistol and they fought the rebels off for a while until the rebels threw a hand grenade into the room where they were being detained.
Not sure if that's true or not but that's what I heard.
