Say what? Other pirate vessels are steaming up too? And we are allowing that? Can’t we lay a impenetrable naval blockade around this mess?

I don’t think the physical position of the new pirate ships is the problem...the pirates are going ‘all in’. They have dozens of hostages from other vessels (and other nations) on these ships; and, they are trying to introduce their plight into the situation.

They may even try to ‘pick up’ the pirates in the lifeboat. What is the destroyer going to do...these ships have hostages on them also. Personally, I think the Navy should disable any ships that get close (like our Coast Guard does with drug smugglers)...who knows what will happen.
