So their were no escorts? --66.229.17.181 21:39, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- I was thinking that you'd expect a ship full of military cargo to be able to defend itself from pirates..... Fephisto (talk) 12:44, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Pirates with Tanks?[edit]
A lethal combination. -Supergodzilla2090 (talk) 23:25, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Global Warming![edit]

Any further updates?[edit]
The last update regarding this incident was over a month ago. Anyone know how this stand-off turned out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.17.26.4 (talk) 19:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

- They still have the ship, 204. They released a Greek ship today, MV Genius, that was captured the same day as the Favina. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 22:48, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Trolling suspected. Vladimir Vysotsky was a famous Russian poet. Seriously doubt there's a "name brother" that's head of the Russian Navy.
