Saunas, massages help Swedish sailors hunt pirates - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100526/ap_on_re_af/af_swedish_pirate_hunters)
Floggings, weevils and scurvy are out. Saunas, fresh bread and massages are in — at least aboard the Swedish warship Carlskrona, the flagship of the European Union's force to hunt down Somali pirates, who have hijacked 23 ships this year.
Funny stuff, also had a story of a US Admiral going to an after meal meeting in full uniform ... "only to end up shaking hands with a line of sweaty, smiling and naked Swedish sailors."
