Navy Can Safely Disable Approaching Pirate Ships: Pirates Must Not Be Allowed to Make It to Shore With Their Hostage

The Navy is concerned that seized international ships that are manned by pirate crews are going to interfere in the ongoing hostage crisis off the coast of Somalia.

It doesn't have to be that way. I'd rather see the Navy shoot out the engine rooms of the pirate vessels and set them adrift too. Or blow off a screw with a well-placed torpedo. Then make them the same deal that they're currently offering to the pirates in the lifeboat.

The Navy cannot allow the pirates to succeed.
