Bert - Do not think I do not appreciate the USN. They are the elite fighting force in the world (as are our other branches). The US Navy can do almost anything. It is the BS politics that hamstrings them. I just wish our swabbies were not handcuffed by the vermin in Washington which will be even worse soon. This piracy nonsense would be handled in a day if the USN were allowed to do their job.

I understand your point.

My thought is that is not necessary for the USN to handle the problem. We have allies, one of which is India. It appears that in large measure the Indian Navy has been designated as the pirate killer by international consensus and has happily accepted the opportunity.
