The Present:
Naval responses of interested economic structures has been
conventional. Naval alternate choices include concept of a
'Q-Ship', drawn from previous applications, designed to lure
and liquidate armed opposition who fail to surrender upon demand. Insurance industries, shippers, and ship lines all
could engage in retro-fitting vessels to combat piracy; from
addition of Naval gunnery to private weapon systems to deny
unauthorized boarding at-sea. Previous conversions have
given crew charged hoses to deliver steam or water at any
hostiles but increased application of military arms by pirates
requires maritime industry 'step-up' to new threat resolutions.
Marine security services certified by various governments or
in-house security with increased lethal capabilities is likely.
The Future:
Piracy could be a larger world issue. This could include adventurers in large boat landing 'away parties' to loot
coastal towns and then blend with local population to escape
uniformed response of officialdom. Southern California and
American Gulf Coast are likely pickings; pirates need but a Mexican Passport and new prosperous condition to steer
an evasive route around responding uniforms of officialdom.
Using 'shot on sight' protocols would distance most pirates.
 
Look up "Somali coastal waters" on the BBC's website. They are some of the most dangerous in the world as far as pirates are concerned. It also presents a problem for shipping to and from the Persian Gulf.

Good luck on your homework.
 
Give this to the teacher. "Dear Teacher, I have no idea what you're talking about. I slept in class and I don't do homework. I'm going to be a profeshinal basketball player, so I don't need to know nothing besides slam dunk."

The real answer is, yes, pirates still exist, but not in civilized countries. If you own a yacht, be careful where you go.
