Um, just a wild idea here — could they not send some cloud of SOMETHING their way, put them all to sleep, pick up the captain and sink the ship? Just a thot.

Or a bazooka.

What a bunch of wienies the Westerners are. ‘Negotiators? We don’t need no stinken’ negotiators.’

The Captain tried to precipitate his own rescue by jumping overboard.......that should have given the Navy the chance to take out the pirates at that moment.....but they probably were caught by surprise,...too bad.

They probably could have put something in the food that was previously provided that could have temporarily knocked out the captain and the pirates.

However, now that the Pirates have a ship in the area, any rescue attempt will be seriously complicated. The pirates will now fire on any rescuers who approach the lifeboat.

Why not quietly, at night time, send over full armed Navy Seals and hook on a tow line and tow the lifeboat alongside "Bainebridge"!

With megaphone tell the pirates if the hurt the captain they all will all be shot!!

If the try to open the hatches and shoot, the Navy Seals shoot them first. They should have all the advances of night vision goggles!!!
