You have to admire the brass on those boys; attacking a US Navy vessel with just a couple of AK's and a RPG. What where they thinking??

Old, old joke. Sorry.

"Allahu Akbar!" or some such moslem non-think.

Maybe one of the pirates misread and thought they had the USS Pueblo cornered.

Maybe the U.S. ships were cloaked.

Since this was off the coast of Somalia it can be safely assumed that the pirates were Somali, and thus they were probably as high as kites of 'miraa' (I believe it is also called Khat). Miraa is a mild stimulant, but it does cause some euphoric effects. Effects that may make someone feel like they can take on an destroyer with an RPG. The pirates were probably stoked like hot coals when they 'attacked' the navy ship.

Maybe they thought the U.S. ships were being run by Democrats?? In which case there would be no resistance.

They were thinking they would be hung and they would rather go down fighting.

Jihadis aren't the smartest children on the block. They like to be like the Profit Muhammed - ignorant and illiterate.

Perhaps a diversion? Every amature magician (and military commander) knows to keep the audience looking at the left hand while the right hand palms the card.
