The Navy could have achieved the exact same outcome on the day that the Bainbridge arrived on scene.

Probabaly not. The hijackers were alert and not tired then. This entire ops went as planned. Wait out the hijackers via lack of sleep so they make mistakes.

I respectfully disagree. On day one, seals could have boarded the small craft and handled the job with ease. Now it is being reported that the pirates were killed by snipers. If that is accurate, they could also have done the deed that way on day one. Besides, there has been a continuous report of a "small ransom" being offered. What a crock of $hit. A small ransom is like being partially pregnant. This whole deal, from a political standpoint, was botched!
