Obama should have orders the dispatch of Navy Seal team to save the ship in the first few hours.

OK, Mr. Tactical genius, how do you know he did not? And the Pentagon's Special Ops planners said, 'Mr. President, if we are going to have a best outcome here, we should draw up a workable plan, train our guys for a day on it, and then fly them out' (which in and of itself could have taken a solid day). So you could be looking at three days just to get the SEALs out to the destroyer. And they might have waited for a cloudy night - the moon isn't that far past full right now and is lighting up the night sky if it is out.

The point is, you are shrieking because this wasn't done fast enough for you, with utterly no information as to any tactical and/or logistical constraints on launching a SEAL raid.

I think the one and only plan Obama agreed to was for a multi stop, photo op tour, code named MPC2........”Milk Brave Captains- Part II.

Once again talking about things you know nothing about.
