The amazing thing is how far East and South of their base they were
operating.

The only answer - small tatical nuke right on top of the headquarters
should do it.


What gets me is they would have to know that the waters they were
sailing in was extremely dangerous, I wonder what made them think
they'd be immune to attack?



Perhaps they did, but I thought I read that the pirates had changed there
attack location and are now operating some 800 miles off the coast.
