I would rather have one of these, especially against piracy at sea. I would rather have one of these, especially against piracy at sea. In all honesty, if I was a pirate, I would rather attack the Visby stealth corvette you referred to rather than attack the Eclipse (or any vessel out at sea, owned by a Russian oligarch). The Swedes would arrest me and treat me quite well - with a Ruskie oligarch ....I doubt the treatment would be 5 star. Furthermore, I can bet you the yacht is VERY well armed (screw international sea arms agreements), that it has security crew that are ex-military (most probably ex-special forces), and that they would have some very nasty surprises for any pirate that tried anything. I would not be surprised if Abramovich's crew have a couple of Iglas man-pads (hence the rumors of air defence capability), and heavy machine guns or even RPGs/other anti-materiel ordnance. Any billionaire, particularly those in the emerging markets, tends to be quite paranoid (again, in emerging markets that paranoia is not exactly misplaced - an Abramovich for instance has more to worry about than a Gates). They tend to be quite prepared for a whole suite of eventualities. Pirates would do well to steer clear of this boat.
