#1 "Every time small fast boats run into helicopters, the helicopters win" > another reason for America to lovethe POTUS REAGAN ADMIN + ERA. The Somali Pirate Boyz are re-learning that lesson as per USN warships.

OTOH, once captured the US = USN at times quickly let their Somali Pirate charges go - hopefully this won't devol into the Navy's GWOT version of US State-Local law enforcement routinely letting Mexican illegals free because Fed Agencies-in-Charge failed to prosecute or pick them up in a timely manner, etc.

#4 It would be more productively used as some ayatollah's prepubescent love boat. A 51' souped up cabin cruiser carrying 2 5000# torpedoes? I don't think so, and damn sure not at 71 knots.
