We have a Navy to control the seas. They are subject to the ROE as imposed by military and civilian leadership. The head of that civilian leadership is the CiC.
This kind of crap never happended under President Bush's watch. The pirates pretty much know who to screw with based on their risk analysis.

Remind me, why do we have a Navy? Good point, well-made, to those who know the answer. "... to the shores of Tripoli..."

Because the Marines don't like flying with the Air Force? Seriously its not the Navy that the problem, its Obama. Rescue the captain, then turn a couple of CVN battle groups and an MEF loose on the Somali coast and sink every pirate ship, fishing boat, whatever. Heck if there are two pieces of styrofoam that might be used as a raft burn them. Pirate problem solved. Worked for Jefferson then, could work now if we had a POTUS that was actually an American rather than a citizen of the world.
