I guess the world can’t rely on the British Admiralty anymore.
I say, hang’em from the yard-arm and come into port for a photo op.

I sure support sinking Pirates, who in this region often are the same bunch as the terrorists, but I resent that we use our Navy on request of Somalia’s government.

Might as well sink them. Congress did away with prize money before WWII. Not that the boats would have been worth much, anyway.

That’s fine with me. Is our navy supposed to sit by and do nothing while pirates have free reign on merchant shipping? I hope not! To stand by and doing nothing while evil is perpetrated on peaceful civilians, especially when we have the power to intervene with little or no risk to ourselves, is wrong. Go US Navy!

Anyone with any thoughts at what the ordinance would have been used?

In recent years, warships have stayed outside the 12-mile limit
when chasing pirates.
Call me extreme...
but too bad we didn't have one of the Iowa-class battleships
park at 13 miles out and lob shells into Mogadishu some years back.
It would have neutralized some skinnies, scared the rest and
probably not been noticeable to journalists.
Because Mogadishu already looked like it had been hit by heavy bombardment!
Even before "Blackhawk Done".

Looks like the Barbary corsairs have forgotten about Thomas Jefferson and moved south. Good thing the US Navy is still on hand to remind them.

From my reading of the article — the pirates SUCCEEDED..
They had ALREADY hijacked the ship before their “skiffs” had been sunk...
The pirates now have the ship full of benzene...
THAT would make a spectacular explosion....
How we get the ship back, without blowing it up is going to be a challenge..
Cut it off or disable the ship and kill EVERYONE who resists our boarding and retaking the ship.....
