"a whole range of warnings were given before the security team opened fire on the small open skiffs"

Let's see, we're off the coast of Somalia and some small boats are approaching. Why wait? 1 shot across the bow or one on each side and then let them have it.

I hope our military detail continued to fire until the pirate boats sank.

Not to be critical, but I suggest that you are being generous.
