I doesn't take a CV Battle Group to deal with pirates, just a Commander-in-Chief and Congress more interested in protecting our commercial interests than making the Sunday yik-yak shows.

Or a cargo ship entering port with pirates swinging from the yardarm/mast - preferably tied up in a pigskin or smeared with SPAM fat.

Some months ago, a Youtube was posted here that showed how the Russkies dealt with pirates.

The pirates were brought topside on their vessel w/hands tied behind their backs. The standoff destroyer took target practice.

Nice. No DOJ lawyers.
