Nice response, but I imagine a group of sailors and a .50 cal or two could have ended the problem very quickly after they arrived on the scene.

That’s why the captain tried to escape by jumping overboard - to give the Bainbridge a few seconds to open open on the life-boat and make short work of it.

Only thing more dangerous to American sailors than a boatload of Somali pirates is a “group of sailors and .50 cal or two”. LOL...easy now, Navy...J/K

My sentiments exactly!
