"training exercises with some underwater activity(those pesky SEALs)"

That is what I would speculate.

What we need are three or four Marine snipers on a Navy vessel within 500 yards of the pirates life boat. Each sniper is assigned a target and they shoot precisely at the same time. Kill the pirates closest to the hostage first and tap any remaining pirates not killed in the initial shoot next.

Correction to a previous post: Shane Murphy, Captain Joseph Murphy son was taken hostage yesterday. Only Captain Richard Phillips is still a hostage. Shane also holds a master’s license but was not sailing as captain on this trip.
