I was thinking the same thing. Have a sub hover just below the surface and launch a seal team at night. Waste the pirates then torpedo the mother ship.
I hope and pray this turns out ok. I don’t have confidence in the Obama administration to deal with foreign crises. Remember Joe Biden said Obama would be tested?
I have no confidence in Obama, but I do hope I’m wrong.
The “mother ship” is as valuable as the decal on the side of the torpedo and needs to be sunk by putting something like a single rpg into it.
Or just have the sub surface right under the lifeboat without warning. I doubt the hostage takes would have a chance to do anything but save their own lives if they suddenly found themselves in the water under violent circumstances!
