“And it turns out they had run out of ammo after firing on a launch approaching the lifeboat. “
Got a link to that? Are you saying we shot unarmed pirates? Are you still insinuating the Navy waiting to take action because they simply could get their shit together fast enough, yet, the pirates were at some point unarmed??

A Navy spokesman said they purposely prolonged any action as long as possible. It allows them to become "friends" with the hijackers. They gave them food/medical supplies/dry clothes etc. The longer the wait the better the outcome.
