Because the Navy doesn’t have that many ships.

We have several ships involved in this activity now, and there are at least 20 ships from other nations (allies loike the UK, Japan, Germany, etc.) involved. It's called the Combined Maritime Force (CMF) and has established a Combined Task Force specifically for counter-piracy operations.

Even China has 3 ships in the area. I believe we could run 15-20 convoys a week with the ships already involved, assigning two war vessels to each convoy.

And the One will make sure that they don’t get them. All hail to you, Barbary pirates, I, the One, bow down before you.
