CNN: "The American captain of a cargo ship held hostage by pirates jumped overboard from the lifeboat where he was being held, and U.S. Navy SEALs shot and killed three of his four captors, according to a senior U.S. official with knowledge of the situation."

Hooray!!

Well as I said, I am not Navy, but I doubt that if the boat were flipped that the pirates would have much fight left in them.

Especially if you flipped it several times.

How would YOU flip it???

Oddly enough, the best thing the Navy and this skipper have going for them is time. The longer it goes, the more fatigued the pirates will become and the more likely the chance there is that they'll make a mistake.

Oddly enough, the worst thin this captain has going for him is the steamy baking heat of up to 100+ degrees Fahrenheit. And after being submerged in the extreme very salty water, his body must feel dry and like scale on him. No A/C on the lifeboat and the scumbags are used to that kind of weather condition!!!
