Too bad the Captain is the water with them. Fortunately for the Captain, they are in one of the ship's lifeboats. Crew attempted to trade captured pirate for Captain, the pirate, being pirates, reneged. But now they are floating in big ocean in a very small raft.
Waiting for coalition and US naval forces to appear on scene.
DARN there is no way to pick off those three pirates. Battleship comes in view, they will kill the captain. We need something like a submarine and divers to appear without warning.
