They didn't run away??

 

[comsnark]

... especially considering how lightly armed those type of ships are typically armed.

French 1st mate: "Captain, I see a small boat on the horizon coming at us. They look like pirates!"

French Captain: "What should I do? I've never been attacked by pirates before."

French 1st mate: "You should let me go below and fetch you your red shirt."

French Captain: "My red shirt?"

French 1st mate: "Yes, your red shirt. That way if the pirates wound you, the rest of the men won't see how bad you have been hurt and will continue defending the ship."

French Captain: "No.... Go get my brown pants."

Y'all know that old joke about French tanks. 1 speed forward, 5 reverse. I read an article in Power and Motoryacht on a sportfish that planes in reverse. Betcha the French Navy developed that hull.

I saw an add for some WWII firearms, they had French rifles in good shape “ never fired, dropped once”

When planning their attack, quite plainly the pirates were oblivious to the heroism and daring demonstrated by the French in the past when they ruthlessly dispached the "Rainbow Warrior" in Aukland Harbour.:huh:
