Possible scenario:

-Giant fleet of Somali Pirates set sail for Iceland.
-They unload thousands of immigrants on the shores.
-The government will try efforts to keep them under control. The Somalis claim to be the natives of Iceland.
-The whole world begins to hate Iceland for colonizing the native Somalis and commences a worldwide boycott of the racist state.
-Military forces are sent to liberate the Somalis from the chains of Icelandic authority.

Will the Somalis bring the Black Pearl?

Will the Somalis bring the Black Pearl?

Yes, it will be their flagship. They will also have control of the Kraken, sinking the few helpless naval forces Iceland has stationed.

Here's a better question: Do you have a job?

I'm totally unfamiliar with military capabilities of Iceland.

I just checked the Wiki for it:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Iceland

The Coast Guard consists of three ships and four aircraft and armed with small arms, naval artillery, and Air Defense weaponry.[5] The Coast Guard also maintains the Icelandic Air Defense System, formerly part of the disestablished Defence Agency, which conducts ground surveillance of Iceland's air space.[5][6]

Units subordinated to the National Commissioner also take part in Iceland's defences. Foremost of these are the National Security Unit, which handles intelligence operations and the special unit Víkingasveitin, a highly trained and equipped counter terrorism unit which is part of the National Police force.

Well it would probably be an interesting fight. Even such a modest naval force would probably take out a fleet of pirates armed with AK's and RPG's who are accustomed to hijacking unarmed civilian vessels.

Probably the highlight of such a conflict - Coast Guard with defensive capabilities versus Somali pirates who never intend to engage in direct warfare. We should also consider the size of the pirate fleet.
