These are clearly not capable of 45Kts:



Those speedboats weren't targeting any ship that had a torpedo that could outrun it, so why would they bother? And now that the Somali pirates have $$, I'm sure they would have no problem investing in a faster boat if they ever tried to hijack a vessel w/a military grade torpedo on board.

Hell, the boat would probably cost less than the torpedo
