I know this: as long as he is alive, he is part of the next ransom demand. So they’d best put him somewhere that nobody knows for sure. And that place had better be some country that has no ships to hijack.

He’s a juve. Won’t be too long and he can go to Harvard on a scholarship, just like his African born idol Obama

He should be brought to the US, given a green card, a fully paid scholarship to Harvard and one of those $400,000 foreclosed homes in Boston. He needs to learn how great America really is.Then after 2 years exile him back to Somalia, never to return...

"(....that is, if ships still have yardarms.)" I'm not too nautical, but I see four sturdy horizontals on the Bainbridge that should surve the intended purpose:

Leni, I agree:
Pirate + Yardarm + Rope = JUSTICE.

Make him walk the plank or keel-haul him then make him walk the plank. Seems appropriate.

I know!
You would think an 800 million dollar destroyer would come equipped with a plank!

There’s probably a National Stock number for a “Plank, one each”

We all know damned well there was a 4th (if not a 5th, 6th, etc. Seal for backup) and a bummer that #4 who went through the same drama getting on board to shoot didn’t get to use his skills.
This time.

“If they bring him to the US, he will walk.”:
After he walks, he will go on the college speaking circuit making $10,000 per speech about how he and his other teen-aged buddies, on a simple boating outing celebrating their rich Somali culture were abused by the evil US military.

...it appears most likely the captive initially would be flown to New York to stand trial. They'll do anything to raise the population of NYC before the census.
