I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Why did they let the attackers go? Weird. It is not inconceivable that the pirates are currently fish food and their vessel is in pieces at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
The navy has a way about these things. Secure the smoking sponson and nobody sees anything. A few chiefs and officers report that the ship hightailed it out of there after they fired "warning" shots. Who would ever know?
