Situation:You have multiple battleshits in the area. Inside the perimeter, you have four skinnys on a rowboat with a hostage.

What do you do?
A- Order for marine sharpshooters to simultaneously kill all four pirates.
B- Give them their measly 2 million random. (Whats that compared to the piracy of the Fed? thats baby stuff.)
C- Sit around and do nothing while knowing that you have no experience in this sort of thing.
D- Hope.

I think B assumes that this is a one time ordeal. Do you know that there is like 4 other situations going on right now also?

G) Other

Give them the ransom, get the captain back, then blow their ship up.

Also, I think you made a typo with the word "battleships."

Give them a case full of fake money but have a tracker installed in the frame. Also, give them a car.
When they are driving in the desert, get snipers to elminate them or elist the help a a 500lb JDAM

Blow up the ship with the captain in it. They won't try to hijack American ships anymore after that.

I doubt they risk getting paid with marked bills.

Have the ship owners hire mercenaries, have international law include statutes on trespassing. In the eventuality of a pirate entering a ship, the mercenaries may, however they see fit, eliminate a threat from boarding a shipowners property. It would, in effect, be the same as hiring private guards on your property. That way taxpayers won't have to pay for military deployments and ship owners would get their necessary protection provided they pay a fee which would be significantly lower than a potential ransom payment reaching millions.

I would have navy seals SCUBA under the boat at night and release knock out gas and then ass rape all of them (including the captain) before sinking the life boat with a shaped C4 charge.

Do what the french do ffs

i never thought i'd type that.

This one time (at band camp), they gave the ransom, then followed the boat to the shore via helo, landed, shot them all and took the money back.

It is a two prong approach to make Captains try harder to keep from being hijacked and deter pirates from hijacking in the future.

Stategic bombing of the Somali coast, eliminate their ability to dock up any large ships and eliminate Somalia's territorial waters until this pirate prob is sorted to a less frequent level.

But if presented with the options, I would simply tell the provider that:

"I was elected to lead, not to read!"

Allow merchant vessels to have armed security patrols on board, specifically a few large caliber machine guns that can sink a pirate boat with a few rounds if they come within a designated secure range without declaring intent.

Agreed

Kill these pirates. Take their bodies and fly over the Somali coast and drop them out at 10000 feet to send a message.

Then sink/strafe/destroy every boat on the coast, in harbor, or pulled up on the shore. That should settle things down for a few months. And F' them if they depend on boats for fishing.

I say......

G: Give them the money, get the hostage. Kill the pirates. Take money back. Give the money to bankers. Kill bankers. Take money back.

What really needs to happen is some serious raids need to occur on Somalia (specifically Pirate Ports), something in between Clinton Cruise Missiles and Bush Total War invasion

Have SEALS swim underneath their boat and poke holes in them. Then they rescue the captain and let the sharks have breakfast...
