They should have sunk the boat and chummed up the
water.
They would have if the boat hadn't stopped.

Definitely.
The article says "fired a round across the bow" but not what type of
shot... 5"/54? 50cal BMG? 76mm? Any of those could have sunk the boat, but
the bigger shell probably would have shredded it & left no evidence.
Problem- the pirates had been kidnapping people, I think the Navy wanted
to rescue the victims.
