No, I meant the way you formed your phrase

" Aragorn means to bring the Corsairs and other reinforcements from Southern Gondor to defend the City"

Because, Aragorn did not bring the Corsairs of Umbar to defend the City, but rather, he drove them off using the Isildure ghost army, in order to free the tied up Gondor fief armies. That was I meant.

In regards to "Corsairs of Umbar", I always felt they were meant to represent the Turkish Corsairs fleet under Barbaroussa during Suleiman era
