Why risk the lives of many special forces guys, whose time is better spent not babysitting the working crews? One submarine lurking in the area would quickly put an end to several pirate ships.
But why does the US military have any responsibility to protect foreign trade interests, especially in a part of the world that is strongly anti-American? My opinion is to let the Chinese navy put one of their subs to work, since it's largely Chinese trade ships and crews at risk.
And speaking of Chinese trade, ...what? You need to do your laundry NOW?? (sigh). OK, I'll get off the soap box.
