They should have sunk the boat and chummed up the
water.

Oh come on Bart...A pirates got to make a living too :0)

Don't tell me if you were from Somolia, had no job prospect, you would
not think about adventure on the high sea's and becoming a
Swashbuckler, a regular Bluebeard with a boat load of booty.

They would have if the boat hadn't stopped.

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.

And, after they rescued them.... :-)

Why waste the taxpayer's bullets? Just run 'em down. One of
the best uses of a steel boat.

Steel boats are soooooooo manly.
