2009 is rather recent. and I'm under the impression Ron Paul wants to pull military forces out of those areas, thus the concept of Privateers. Judging from his stance on the military anyway.
Though again, those ships are not designed for that kind of work, and those are rather expensive assets. Hense the development of the Littoral Combat Ship. This is an expense that I assume Ron Paul would rather we didn't have. However a smaller number of these smaller ships should be able to do the job of the 20 or so odd larger warships currently involved in anti-piracy warfare.
