A Captain of a US warship is REQUIRED to interdict in acts of piracy. An unflagged vessel transporting contraband is an act of piracy.

"Interdict" covers a lot of ground, including past practice of stopping the boat, arresting the crew, and bringing them to the United States for trial.

Interdiction by Hellfire missile is rather more efficient.

Probably the most logical statement in this thread. Well done!
