Was at USS Mason commissioning in Port Canaveral. Way to go sailors!

Hope the killed all the Pirates

[Long Jon No Silver]

Indeed, but there will be some on FR who will say it is wasting U.S tax payer money on someone else’s problem. Well hello! Piracy on the high seas is costly to the consumer. Nip it in the bud

—> I get the importance of keeping the sea lanes open. But once again the US is left with the bill

Agree.

And risked American lives to do it.

You make a good point. Plus this operation gives intelligence and good experience to the Navy. All the vessels operating in the Mediterranean will be better prepared to deal with these situations.

[ladyjane]

There just might have been some Marines involved in this operation too!

Instead of taking them into custody, dribble a trail of blood in the water as the ship moves, then when the sharks get there, throw them overboard.

No yardarms anymore, dang it. For one thing, nothing to hang pirates from. For another, there’s no way for a boarding party to swing over with a cutlass between their teeth. No cutlasses, either. And no rum. Why, in my day...

[Cen-Tejas]

The US could send the ship owner a bill and if they didn’t pay it the US could put a lien on the ship. Naturally, that would be contested but it needs to be tested.

During discussions, the US lawyer could tell the owners “ok” next time your own your own”.

“Yo ho ho and a can of Bud Light” just isn’t the same. :(

Sailors are creative. Let them run with it, but don’t tell the lawyers.

[Reno89519]

Once they are interrogated, they should be hung until dead

[Reno89519]

With Biden, he’s likely to resettle them in the US with benefits

[SVTCobra03]

Si vis pacem, para bellum

[EinNYC]

Turn the pirates into shark snax.

[Eleutheria5]

Walk the plank, ye scurvy swabs.

[QBFimi]

Captured? Captured? Pirates captured? Yeah, that’ll teach ‘em.

[Eleutheria5]

15 men on a dead man’s chest still works.

[Eleutheria5]

You try swinging around with an AK47 between your teeth. It hurts.

[Dr. Franklin]

Kill all the pirates except one. He is the witness to warn the others.

A few years back the Russians caught some Somali Pirates. They didn't arrest them. They just set them adrift in their little boat in the middle of the sea.
