>>About freakin’ time. <<

So much for that crap about not arming security on ships.

the ship’s armed security team

Why are they armed? Why isn't the Indian Ocean a gun-free-zone? I assume that Obama will stop this gun violence by forbidding armed teams on merchant ships.

Good. Now find a yardarm and hang these a-holes from it.

After they repel them, they ought to direct the naval forces to the pirates who sink the pirates and send them all to Davy Jones locker.

five suspected pirates are now in custody in connection to attack.

Why are they alive?

Seriously.

In a sane world, they would all be shark food right now.

Why aren’t the five attacking pirates dead and serving as fish food?! Why are they still walking around?

Sink the mothership and let the pirates swim home.

I still think it's time we start operating Q-Ships (essentially merchant vessels with hidden high-powered gun mounts) so if the Somali pirate ship gets too close, they get sprayed with 0.5 inch M2 machine gun and 25 mm Bushmaster gun fire. That will guarantee the pirates won't try again for fear of the little pirate boat being completely shot up in no time flat!
