#2 And they can hold onto the hope of not getting strafed in the water if they don't injure any hostages.

#3 A little country, like the Seychelles.....gets it. A couple of ops like this will cause the Somali pirates to realize that there is too high a price to pay and they will go elswhere.

Seychelles gets it. The US, EUniks, et al don't get it. Sheychelles has the model to follow.

I did enjoy the hosing of the mother ship's engine room with gunfire and sinking her. Good show. Well done.
