I suspect there are ramifications to firing upon a vessel as opposed to boarding it.

Firing what? A modified mini torpedo programmed to approach at 5 knots greater than the targets speed, to unspool line and foul the prop, or to simply drive through the prop and unbalance it?

As opposed to a totally cocked-up commando raid, on ships full of camera crews and children-shields?

And don’t tell me “it wasn’t planned to be cocked up.” Custer said the same damn thing. So did the Brits at Gallipoli. They were just GREAT operations.

Until they hit REALITY.
