Pirate guns to you head

As opposed to your approach of, "Oh, puhlease, Mr. Pirate. Don't kill me. Kill someone else later".

Because, you know, South Koreans are incapable of fighting to take back their ship. Their options are A) pirates kill me while I cower or B) the US Navy should sink the whole lot of us before the pirates kill me while I cower.

Though the navy really isn't equipped to deal with boarding and seizing vessels. The coast guard is actually better than that. You'd be surprised how few firearms (of the personal type) there are on a ship.

A few well-aimed sniper bullets can go a long way (sic)...

too bad navy ships don't have snipers on them.

I think we need to call Johnny Depp.

Well, if they can develope the joint strike fighter program, they can train snipers how to keep their aim while seasick.

Navy needs to develop a special forces unit to kill pirates

It is obviously becoming a bigger and bigger problem around the horn of Africa

yeah it might need to do that. We (and the marines) had to kick their ass before, we'll just do it again.

Remember, the US Navy and Marines were disbanded after the Revolutionary War. They were reconstituted in the late 1700's to deal with French pirates in the Carribbean.

I vote for Q-ships, putting well armed Marine boarding parties and snipers on Navy frigates and hydrofoils, and sending a few Preditor drone to both the Horn of Africa and the South China Sea.

I'd want the navy to blow the trawler out of the water.

So kill the South Korean crew to get at the pirates? Wow, what an ass.

So let the pirates use the crew as hostages so they can continue to get away with piracy, kidnapping and murder? That's a better solution.

What's needed is to patrol closer inshore, interdict pirates before they hit, and once identified, promptly and summarily prepare them for their fate as shark****.
